Kids will be kids

Hearing about somebody closing a door on somebody's finger reminds me of closing a car door on a finger and that really, really hurts! My kids are teenagers now and I am lucky to say that neither of the two ever got their fingers hurt that way! Gee, I am glad to have been speared that one!

Dr. Who. LOL When my son fell off the porch and cut open the back of his head we took him to the ER. Head wounds quit bleeding pretty quick and he's got a really high pain thresh hold so while we're in the ER he's squirming and wanting to go play. I can name other instances where he's gotten injured and wanted to play. Yeah, I know, weird kid. LOL

I haven't had to take my two year old to the emergency room (yet), but it seems that two is a good age for refusing to cooperate. After all, they like to do things their way! I get that a lot anyway.

I know what you mean,my grandaughter tumbled down the last few stairs twice!!and it was all becuse she was hurrying too much,she didnt want to go and get checked over,but her Mum made her go,she is six,and although there wasnt anything wrong it was better to be safe than sorry,but also my daughter felt embarassed taking her for the second time,as she said the staff maybe thought there was something a little strange about it all,which of course there wasnt in any way.

kids will really be kids...but at least he is taken cared off now..everything is okey. hope no more next time.hehehe.. also my nephew is the same,,,there is one instance when he was like only 2 or 3 months...my sister-in-law was shocked to see my nephew was having a hard time breathing..we are so worried and went to the hospital in the middle of the night just to know that he was just playing with his breathing..hahaha! the nurse where laughing..how naughty right???and to think he was just a month or two back then. he is now 4 years old and a very hyper kid... the nurse did not find anything and he even demonstrate it in front of the doctor then giggle...wow!hehehe! then at home he did again and again...he was really just playing.i think he will be an actor someday..

Hi, sorry to say you are just beginning your emergency room runs with little ones have accidents. When my son was small I didn't have too much trouble with him cooperating. He was more upset before the emergency room visit, I guess because he thought he was going to get into trouble for getting injured. When he was in grade school, I had to take him to the emergency room once because some other kid poured something in his eyes, I'm not sure what it was but his eyes were burning, they flushed his eyes out for about an hour, then he was running in the play ground and another child ran into him and his front teeth came through his lip, OUCH and another time, I was at my sister's house, the children were told not to play in the basement. Well he came upstairs crying along with the other children with a dart plunged in his chest. My nephew was playing with his father's darts they were told not to go in the basement, my son was looking for all of the other children, went into the basement just as my nephew was throwing the dart, and it hit him. OUCH OUCH OUCH. That was really scary for me, because when I saw him the dart was still in his chest. I am glad your son will be okay, I am sure that really hurt him. Our little angels

i don't have a kid yet... but i can relate to what you are telling about your son because i see that kind of incidents often in the doctor's waiting room and emergency room... yes, kids will be kids... at one time, they will be crying loudly after they get injured... but not long after that, they will smile again... it is so funny when i see them do that... take care and have a nice day...

i think that was wrong for him that shut his thumb in bedroom door, and i pray 2 god that don`t do that later.. he is a child so he have no any discussion or any social problem in my so always they happy..and painloss he joy ,is naturally..

kids will be really like this. i am not married or have kids. but have seen kids like these always around me.they are like at a moment they are acting in a certain way. next moment they cahnges. hope he gets well soon.

Hi little one, I guess this is normal reaction of a kids..LOL! I have seen a lot of children shouting in the hospital during their check up... But, I am sure after that experienced, he will realized that the pain will subside and it is helpful to be seen and treated by the doctor..LOL!

hi littleone My son is all grown up now but when he was little he was always calmed down by the time we got to the hospital.one time he cut his thumb badly with an exacto knife and had to have some stitches.but the doctor was smart he deadened his thumb first then stitched it so my son didnt really cry at all. He never did really refuse to cooperate except when he was four and had the flu and the doctor had the devil of a time giving him an injection. He bellowed so loud you could have heard him for a block, dr.so and so is a mean old doctor. the doctor was probably about thirty if that, but he really did laugh at that.
