Unfortunately, it would appear that scaremongering is a legitimate marketing tool;
.You take the FIRST STEP and protect your toddler's brain!
It the same with companies that sell bleach convincing us that we absolutely, positively have to kill every mother-****ing bug in the house. Just makes everyone sicker in the long run.
My little boy could fall over in an empty room, he's a reet clumsy 'un. Fell on the steps recently and bashed his head on a coping stone, I was in bits at the time as I was convinced there was permament damage, but 5 minutes later he was running round as if nothing had happened. I hope number 2 is bit more steady, but I doubt it!
With 3 boys one or other of them always has a massive egg bruise on the go.
Doesn't help, the others poking it though.
As Mum is a teacher, she has often looked at the state of them and said, '10 yeas ago, if they were in my class, I'd have had a word with the parents'
A few years of parenting gives you a whole new perspective on what is normal.
As a kid on holiday mum and dad left me (7) with my 2 older brothers (12 and 15) whilst they double checked the distance to the hospital as mum was 8 months pregnent.
We were playing jumps from bed to bed when my older brothers thought it would be cool to throw me from bed to bed. Everything was going fine until mum and dad got back and my brothers mis-threw me and I ended up hitting the edge of the bar supporting the mattress with my forehead.
I don't remember much of the trip to the hospital, a red towel that should have been white mainly - but I do remember a very, very scary woman after all the bandages and stuff taking me to a room and asking me why mum and dad were hitting me. Mum was a theatre nurse back home at the time and had been taking everything too calmly for the nursing staff to understand whereas dad had gone outside and chainsmoked out of view as he didn't like blood and mum didn't like him smoking. I remember my mum virtually having to break the door down to get me back.
I've never been back to hospital since....
LOL @ Saccades
sorry but it is funny
🙂 Aye, the scar is handy for haircuts too, but we never went back there on holiday, which was a shame as it was the first time I saw concorde and bats (obviously not together) and we used to go hunting for arrowheads and making dams in the stream behind the farm.
Had to go to anglesey instead...

Weird, that's the only memory of my childhood injury too. Did they only have white towels in the 70s?
Scar in the middle of my forehead (I nutted the fireguard falling off a little stool) cos they wouldn't stitch it. My mum was also a nurse.
My nephew (2 years) fell over a toothbrush we'd left in the garden after cleaning bikes. It doesn't take much.
