[quote=maril332][quote=Anonymous]Not exactly a warm and nurturing person, are you? Kids get hurt because they're kids. Older people forget they aren't 30 anymore, and climb ladders. Try empathy.[/quote] Yes I am nurturing. When my son skinned both his knees at the park i hugged and held him till he was calm, had 2 bandaids and ready to go back and play. Not nurturing would be to yell "rub some dirt on it!" These situations I expect, and I do want to offer comfort because I hate seeing people hurt. HOWEVER. When my 8 year old is told repeatedly not to slide down the banister, and has already gotten bumps and bruised from it before, slides down and breaks a bone, I am less empathetic. Of course I give the child medical attention, but I don't feel as bad since I have said time and time again not to do it. [/quote]
