A doctor’s coat, a toy stethoscope and a chance to care for someone else. For the children at the second LITTLE DR: Play, Learn, Heal!, these were the starting ingredients for a day of discovery.

Held on 24 October 2026 at MyToday, Atria Shopping Gallery, Petaling Jaya, the event brought Parenthood Media and ByeBye-FEVER together once again to introduce children aged three to eight to everyday health and care through play.

This time, Dr Khor Min Tze, a General Practitioner at Sena Clinic, joined the programme, adding an expert’s guidance to an experience designed around young children’s curiosity.

Dressed and Ready for Doctor Duty

Each child was given a doctor’s coat and a toy doctor’s kit, complete with a stethoscope, thermometer and other pretend medical tools to help them step into character.

The kit gave little ones something to explore as they took on their new roles. Familiar objects they might usually see during a clinic visit became part of their own play, with opportunities to imagine what a doctor does and how it feels to look after a patient.

For a day, the children could be the ones doing the checking, listening and caring.

Exploring Everyday Health With The Experts

Joining the second session, Dr Khor Min Tze helped bring a real-world connection to the children’s doctor-for-a-day experience.

The programme paired expert-led learning with practical activities, giving families an approachable introduction to everyday health. Rather than keeping children seated throughout, the experience invited them to take part and explore ideas through guided play.

It also gave parents a shared experience to build on at home, whether through another round of pretend check-ups or a conversation about how we care for someone who feels unwell.

Little Patients and Hands-On Discoveries

The Diagnosis Session gave children a chance to check the temperature of baby doll patients and look for signs that their pretend patients might need care.

During the Treatment Session, the focus shifted to familiar family-care situations. Children examined their parents and identified aches and pains, bringing mums and dads into the role-play experience too.

ByeBye-FEVER cooling patches and other family-care products formed part of the guided activities, connecting the session with items families may recognise from home.

At the Prescription Session, children filled their special goodie bags with products featured in the programme, including ByeBye-FEVER cooling patches, ByeBye-BUG mosquito-repellent patches, Salonpas® Pain Patches and spray, and OMFA Vitamin C.

A certificate marked each child’s completion of the LITTLE DR experience.

Small Ways to Practise Caring

Beyond the coats and kits, the activities encouraged children to pay attention to someone else. Listening to a pretend patient, checking how they feel and thinking about what might help were all part of the experience.

These simple moments gave families something to share beyond the event itself: a playful way to talk about kindness, health and looking after one another.
