SORRY for the long post.
My DD is 4 now. She started school and is now in full time.
She has always been clumsy and has bundles of energy. She lives off 7/8 hours sleep per night but seems to work fine for her as she is never grumpy and never ever gets tired.
As an example on Sunday we set off at 7:30 am for a day out to the beach/fun fair. 4 hours travelling and 7 hours there. She was absolutely fine with this sang all the way home in the car I was exhausted!
She can NOT sit still. Me and family always thought she was just bored and ready for school. But since starting school she still can't stop jumping running around, she will watch her tablet upside down back to front swinging her arms around for an hour!
Anyway my main concern is she is constantly falling and bumping her head. Since starting school she has had Four accident forms sent home. Today:
It was quite serious she has a swollen leg and I had to pick her up at 11:30am. She was swinging off the side of a climbing frame and decided to jump off. TA said she was lucky she didn't break her leg. Brought her home she ran around all day as usual. She fell in her room and banged her head and she now has a purplish bruise near her eye.
Then when DH came home I nipped back to work and he rang me in tears saying she wrapped a towel round her head and jumped off the top of the stairs. She luckily was ok and had no serious injuries. I rushed home and she was laughing her head off climbing on the back of the couch.
I have cut ALL sugar out of her diet. She was fine as a baby nothing of concern.
I do not know what to do about her. She has no fear my mum jokes that she's going to be a stunt woman.
I don't know what to do.
