...do nothing and tell them,its not that bad so stop crying?
Only thats what my brother does with his 16 month old daughter. She's has countless falls ever since she could stand up,and banged her head up but he thinks its nothing.Many times i've seen small cuts and scratches on her face,sometimes by her eye where she's knocked into things or tripped over.He told me once that he wants her to be tough and not a soft and needy child. But surely you want to care for your child and not want them to hurt themselves.
Even my son who is 2 has had falls over the time or banged into something and my natural instinct is to pick him up and rub his head or leg or arm and make sure he's ok. We were in my brothers house yesterday and my son nearly broke his arm after slipping on a flimsy rug on laminated flooring. He fell with his arm twisted behind him and banged his head on some wooden furniture. Then later he tripped over another rug and fell flat on his back banging his head up.He started crying and i held him,and rubbing his head. All my brother said was,"There's no need to cry,it could've been worse". When he see's me holding my son to comfort him,its like he doesn't like it for some reason.Aww i'd love him to have a few falls and bang his head up,see how he likes it.
I just think his attitude isn't normal for a parent.
Ashley - i like to show my son that i care when he hurts himself. My brother always comments if he sees me hugging my son,and making sure he's ok. He doesn't see if his own child is ok. When it comes to hard bangs on the head,falling on concrete floors,banging into corners of furniture and bruising or cutting face then i think it normal to be concerned and not just let your small child be hurt and having no one console them.It would be different if they were 6 or more but 2 and under.I'm not talking about simple tumbles over on floor.Children have been known to develop Epilepsy from knocks to the head.
