[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All young children will end up with bumps and bruises. It is all par for the course.
Obviously the child was not hurt since it appears her physician did not even order for an xray to be run.
Just my personal opinion, but as a parent myself I would not take the time to take my child in for falling off playground equipment as long as it wasn’t above cement. Because that is not something to take your child in for. If the limping were something that concerned me I maybe would but it is very telling that the parents here stated that the physician did not perform any xrays.

My thought?
I think these parents lied to you about her limping, I strongly doubt they even took the time to take their kid to seek medical care.
They are just helicopter parents who believe that if a child is hurt while around anyone but them then they must have been neglected or abused.

Leave this job as soon as you have another one lined up.
Oh and my own son just turned two last October and he does climb the ladder bars on the play equipment on his own. Yes he has fallen off many times (mostly by going too fast!) but the playground I take him to is geared for kids 2-5 so I doubt they would have bars there that would be too high or complicated for a child his age. :)[/quote]

My first thought after reading this post was that I did not truly believe the parents actually took the time to take their child in to see a doctor.
Reason being is that urgent or emergency care would need a compelling reason and just the fact that the child was limping is not considered life-threatening.

I think the parents have guilt that they were at work and thus it is common though not always just, to place blame on the child’s caregiver in order to alleviate guilt on the parent’s part.

These parents need to find a way to deal with “working parent’s guilt” because if they do not, they will never be able to keep a good nanny around.[/quote]
