What should I do if my child falls?

The traditional way of education in China generally makes children more pampered. Once any danger occurs, the family members will stand up for the children and help them solve all the problems. Especially in today's society, most children are only children, so their parents spoil them even more. Children habitually rely on their parents for anything. So what is the correct thing for parents to do if their child falls down?

Soothe your child

Children usually cry after falling to the ground. At this time, you need to calm the child's emotions first and teach the child not to be afraid of falling. Especially after falling, the child needs to get up immediately. Don't pick him up immediately, otherwise the child will develop bad habits. To comfort the child, you need to make him stop crying, and then check whether the child's wound is serious. If it is serious, it needs to be treated immediately, especially bleeding wounds, the bleeding must be stopped immediately to avoid consequences such as ulceration and inflammation of the wound.

Treat wounds and observe injuries to body parts

Many parents pick up their children and comfort them immediately no matter how they fall. This is a very wrong approach because some children will suffer fractures after falling to the ground, and some children who fall badly may suffer cerebral hemorrhage. It is necessary to observe the child's mental state to see if the child can still cry normally. If the child has a painful facial expression and cries very hard, then it is necessary to check the child's injuries.

If you find a wound on your child's skin, be sure to stop the bleeding first, keep the wound from further contamination, and go to the hospital immediately. However, if the child has limited joint movement or bone problems, he must maintain the original posture and go to the hospital for treatment, and never handle it on his own. If a child has an intracranial wound, he or she will show symptoms such as crying, listlessness, irritability, and even convulsions, and may also experience projectile vomiting. At this time, parents should take the child to the hospital immediately. If there are no symptoms at the beginning, the child should be observed for three days to prevent progressive intracranial lesions.

If a child falls down, it is not that we should not pay attention to the child's health and life, but we should take the right approach. If the child just falls down accidentally while playing, parents should not help the child up, but let the child get up by himself. This will help to train the child's independence and strong character. However, if you fall under special circumstances, of course you should check the injuries immediately and send to the hospital for treatment.
