[quote=Anonymous]We went camping with another family a couple weeks ago, and everything was a bit wet from recent rain. Starting out on our hike, I told my kids (8 and 6) that the rocks and tree roots were slippery, and not to run. Well the 8 year old ignores me, goes off running, and within 2 minutes of starting the hike, slips on a rock and falls, and hurts his ankle. As soon as I saw it happen, my instinct was to be super annoyed instead of at all sympathetic. He ended up not being able to do the rest of the hike, so someone had to stay back with him. Luckily it wasn't so bad that we had to seek urgent care or anything. Anyway, after the whole episode I felt like a jerk. I felt like I shouldn't have snapped at him and acted annoyed when he was hurting. How would you have handled something similar?[/quote]
