[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Um.  At five, my child would (and did) call 911.  Something is super off here.  And you have an older child who was there as well?  Seriously, OP.  Not normal.  I would have them evaluated ASAP.  [/quote]

I doubt my 5 year old would realize that I was unconscious rather than playing a game.  That's what it sounds like both of OP's children thought.  That she was playing.[/quote]

And the response was to punch her in the face?  That kind of violence in a 5yo is deeply troubling.[/quote]

All of this sounds very malicious. It’s especially noteworthy that there’s an older child who went along with this too. This is really psychologically disturbing behavior.

My kids love to wrestle and jump all over DH and me. However, even my 5 year old would know something was wrong if I was nonresponsive. [/quote]

I'm the pp who could see this happening. I dont think the 5 year old sounds malicious. The 5 year old sounds like he did realize that op wasn't being responsive and so upped the physicality of his attempts to rouse her. I feel like a lot of you are envisioning 5 yrs old seeing mommy knocked out and hauling off on her face. I think much more likely he was trying to wake her, she wasn't waking up so he started to hit harder. While something to be taught not to do this is imo a pretty normal course. If your child wasn't waking with a touch you would likely move to a push, start trying to shake them, you would try harder to wake them. I imagine the kid started to panic and hit her and then when she woke up couldn't process his fear so started laughing hysterically. While weird to witness this seems normal and like OP should ABOSOLUTELY give the poor kid a hug since he was probably semi traumatized by it.[/quote]
