[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m 52 snd I would have told you to mind your own business. I really don’t care if my kids fall and learn their lesson the natural way. Falling that far is not going to be a big deal. I think the people that agree with you are just very concerned about the public believing they are “good parents” based on their ability to “control” their kids. I would have said to my child if you don’t stop you will hurt yourself but I would not force him to stop. Once my child was pulling something and I told him it’s gonna fall and it fell on him, I said okay you need to fix it then he (at 4) had to sit there and fix what he had done. A mom came over as he put the things that fell away without my help she said, does he need help? No, he created this he will fix it. A man stepped up and said some kids need to learn from doing not telling you are doing a good job. Women are so quick to believe their way is the right way. So long story short MYOB.[/quote] Any person (man or woman) who thinks it is OK to let children do something obviously dangerous because they will learn from it, is just plain wrong. Picking up items from the floor is not the same as immediate physical danger. I guess seeing children run into the street, flail about in water, ride without carseat, or stand idly by while a stranger throws them screaming into a car are all learning lessons? Just MYOB? If you don't think a toddler falling out of a grocery cart head first isn't serious, perhaps you have taken such a fall yourself and hit your head. Thus your illogical reply. If you truly believe what you just wrote then I suggest a visit to your physician. At 52 it just might be possible you could have some sort of cognizant disorder brewing. I hope you don't have grandchildren who are left alone in your care. [/quote] It’s actually not serious and the fact that you compare it to being hit by a car shoes you are an alarmist drama queen. My H is a child abuse investigator and my mom an emergency room doctor and they know when there is a bad injury and the parent says it’s from a fall like that... it’s a lie. Kids fall it’s not a big deal, relax. Maybe you need to visit a doctor for your extreme anxiety.[/quote]
