[quote=Anonymous]My son is the other end of the spectrum, so I will offer counter point, FWIW. He has broken bones and not told us, and ruptured ear drums from ear infections but we didn't know until we saw fluid coming from his ears. We have always been the kind of parents who tell our kids to "walk it off". Now we wonder if we have given them too much of that advice. Somehow, we can all club ourselves over the head about our parenting choices regardless of the outcome! In our situation I have worked very hard to help DS identify what should likely hurt and what things should not. But, we have made some progress. He does go ballistic if there is blood, even if it is from a papercut, so we are clearly not there yet. And then if he isn't thinking about it then he will still do things like scrape the skin off his face (this past Saturday) or wear rain boots without socks until he gets blisters and is limping (today).
