You've helped them one at a time. The real understanding is how the ideas CONNECT — teach that next.
Notice (symptom-noticing without alarm — most symptoms are minor and temporary) ×Ask (clinical-history-taking — your questions are medical evidence; never feel silly asking)
You have had a headache that comes only in the afternoons. How do Notice and Ask work together at the doctor?
Notice then says: “The things you noticed about your own body are not evidence and are not worth mentioning.” — is that right?
The link: what you notice calmly becomes the evidence your questions are built on.
Notice the details, and they become good questions.
Boundary (body-autonomy and consent — your body is yours; ask-first is universal) ×Tell (help-seeking — telling a trusted adult is the most powerful medical move)
Something about your body does not feel right and you are unsure if you should say anything. How do Boundary and Tell guide you?
Boundary then says: “If you are not certain something is wrong, the right choice is to keep quiet and tell no one.” — is that right?
The link: your body is yours, so reaching for help is yours too.
Your body is yours, and so is the right to speak up.
