My daughter started school this year and she is very physical, quite rough really in comparison to other girls and often plays with boys as is drawn to their games.
I've noticed she has many bruises on her legs as usual but also quite a few down her forearms too, some quite large so indicate knocks but others small and about the size of a child's finger.
Currently she has 4 in a row on one arm and 3 on the other.
All different sizes and different colours but my mum suggested me letting the school know and asking them to keep a watch in case games are getting out of hand.
She said some teachers would worry about so many bruises on arms and questioned her about my brother breaking an arm at home when he was 7!
I'm worried it looks odd mentioning something that I'm actually not worried about!
She's always been the same and preschool never were concerned but she does have more at the minute I guess than usual, would you mention to the teacher or wait for them to mention to me, if they do at all?
