You took her to the doctor because a football hit her.  :roll:

Maybe she has a headache from her anxious mother.[/quote]

How does this address the OP's problem? Are you advising the OP to move the OP's child to an all boys school?[/quote]

OP does not have a problem, she is the problem.

It's not possible for a football (or any other ball) to hit somebody in the head hard enough to cause a head injury? It's not possible for kids to get injured at recess? You may not agree with OP's solution, but that doesn't mean there's not a problem.[/quote]

Not the poster you are responding to, but no.  A football tossed by an elementary school kid is not going to cause serious injury. If someone was a couple of feet from her and intentionally beamed it at her head....maybe.  But a football thrown on the playground is not going to cause anything more than a bump or bruise.  Especially when we are talking about little kids.

This was nothing more than a ridiculous over-reaction by a typical DC area helicopter parent.  My oldest broke his arm playing football and had to have surgery to repair it and it NEVER occurred to me that football should be banned.  Kids get hurt.  [/quote]
