Remember the time that you took your toddler to the park and they fell and scraped their knee?
Yeah, EVERYONE knew about it because you practically called an ambulance with the fuss you made. Seriously, it wasn't a big deal, they hardly came out with a scratch. Over the years, you kept making that giant fuss over every little injury they got and well...your child grew up to be as most people call A GIANT PUSSY. Good job. You messed up your kid for life. The whole idea is to remain calm when situations like these happen and not act like they have burst a lung. If you keep doing that, your kids are going to become scared of any little injury they get and it's going to annoy everyone.
Stop treating your child like a porcelain doll. It's okay to be scared if your husband drops your new born baby because they're obviously extremely fragile, but if you start screaming when they recieve minor injuries, they're going to be scared of your reaction and not the injury itself. Of course, if you react like that with little injuries, imagine how they're going to react when the injury is slightly more serious. You're going to become the parent that everyone laughs at over their coffee break.
To prove to you why you shouldn't treat your child like that, here's a quick story.
A few years back I went to the park with my aunt, sister, and cousins. Now, my mom is THAT parent, the kind that makes a fuss over any little injury; thus, my sister grew up being terrified of everything. Anyways, while playing, my sister fell and hurt herself a little, nothing serious to the point where she would need ice or even a bandaid. Given the way my mom always over reacted, my sister started crying over it as if she broke her finger. My sister cried for almost an hour and a lady watching the whole spectacle actually came up to us and gave us five dollars to buy her ice cream saying "here, so she can be quiet." I wanted to bury my head in the ground.
DON'T. BE. THAT. PARENT.
