Which is the most common accident met by children?

hi fulltank well its been many years since I had little
ones but I think the most common accidents kids have are '
on the swings and on the slides, falls, bumping into things
and how can it be avoided, well I don't know as it can really'because kids being so active are bound to run into
something. you can suggest to your daughter not to jump off'the swings when she is going really high, and dontput your fingers into chain links if the swings are hung by chains with links in them. also not to clown around on the slides,most accidents there are because someone is not using the slide the way they are supposed to, but trying out goofy things that can cause falls and result in painful bruises.

You can't avoid it. You can't put her in a glass case and keep her on the shelf. You have to let her be a kid. Kids get bumps, bruises, scratches and all sorts of things like that. Sometimes bones get broken. It's all a part of growing up.
All of these things go away and are forgotten. A parent who doesn't let a child be a child grows resentment that may never go away.

When I was a kid, I got lots of bruises and cuts from playing. Once a chid is at play, he can't anymore control his acts and become hyperactive that most of the time it ends up in accidents no matter how many times you remind them to be careful.

well we need to categorizes it from baby to adulthood.
1,infant-prone to choking
2.toodler 1-3yrs=choking,fractures,drowning.
3.pre-school 3-5=drowning
4.school-age-vehicular accident
5.tennage=vehicular accident, reckless diving
6.adulthood=still vehicular accident
more power.

hi fulltank! i've got two boys (7 & 4 year olds) and i can't tell you how frustrated i am on trying to subdue them. they're such active kids that i sometimes just give up and let them play to their heart's content. my 4 year old is such a dear, when he falls he'll immediately go to me and make me kiss the part where it hurts and we'll pretend it didn't happen and the pain will go away. i just wish that's the only hurts they'll encounter because beyond that i think will be a nightmare!

Hi Fulltank,

I have 2 kids, 10 and 6, both boys. Like you, I worry a lot when I see bruises on them, the most common ones they usually get from playing outdoor games - bumps and scratches from doing physical activities, or just playing with other kids.

Since I know I can't always be there to prevent them from getting hurt, I instead tell them what to do when faced with it. In school I tell them where the school clinic is in case they need medical attention. At home, I have a ready first aid kit. I also tell them to be prudent in choosing their games, not to go to danger prone areas like busy streets, play with sharp objects, and go to places where they can catch deadly diseases like dengue, malaria, etc.
