Narrator: Try to involve the child in this process.
Explain that you are going to weigh and measure them and that it won’t hurt.
This will make the next steps easier.
Firstly you should take off the outdoor clothes.
This means things like their coat and jumper.
Remove hair bands if the hair is tied up and likely to get in the way of measuring.
Also you should remove any hats.
You need to check the child’s pockets and take out the heavy items.
Things like toys or stones.
Finally help the child takes off their shoes or boots.
The child is now ready to be weighed and measured.
