aughtpunk: ventela1: witchaj: lesbeeanmovie: greencarnations: cinematicsymphony: This is so accurate. At school, we literally have children who will watch our facial expressions to see if them falling is as bad as they think it might be. CORRECT CHILD INJURY PROCEDURE: do not react. at the most, maybe wince and go “ooooh” go over to the child to assess panic level and severity of injury if they’re like, dying, remain calm, but they’re probably not. look them in the eye and ask, “you okay?” they will nod. possibly all teary-eyed. then ask, “are we gonna need to cut it off?” the child is thrown off. if they giggle, you’re in the money. if they do not, put a bandaid on and do some sympathetic patting. they are probably a little teary. let the sad little bug sit out for a minute. they will quickly get bored. works every time “sad little bug” is the cutest and most accurate term ive heard used to describe a child because sometimes bugs are kinda super cute sometimes bugs are really fucking annoying and sometimes bugs are downright TERRIFYING My dad used “should we cut it off?” And it worked EVERY TIME. This can also help you assess how bad the injury really is! If jokes and a calming tone to the situation don’t work, they might be more seriously hurt than usual. When I worked at the day care I would ask the kid to count my fingers because had too many. The child, confused would count along with me as I obviously skipped a number. They would correct me, and we would try again, and by that time they totally forgot they were injured in the first place. -- source link
