Am I overthinking this?

So out at a children’s fun day today, my daughter tripped and fell over (often happens, she’s very clumsy at 4!)
She has ripped her knees to shreds and was absolutely hysterical, I pulled her to one side to try and calm her down when someone came over and offered some wipes for her knees (which was lovely but completely terrified my daughter further).
My DH took her to a grassed area so we could have a proper look at her and get it wiped up and plastered (we always carry anti septic wound wipes and spray on plaster) but as he did this, he shouted at her.

I appreciate it was a stressful situation, everyone was staring at us, my daughter was hurt which was upsetting and it was just generally a shit situation all around, but yeah.

I’m embarrassed, and absolutely mortified that he decided to shout at her for running (this isn’t even why she fell over, she’s just clumsy and often trips and falls).

We did manage to get her cleaned up, and we decided to go home afterwards, but I spent the majority of the journey home in tears due to my DHs behaviour.

How should I handle this? My poor daughter, being shouted at by her dad at a really inappropriate time.

Aww that does look bad tbf I would be upset aswell if that was my dd! So I can understand now, hope she’s feeling better today

Your poor DD!! I'd be crying too if I'd done that!! Xx

Omg that looks so painful. Poor dd. I too would have been upset if that happened to ds. I would have been a bit horrified too which might have made me panic and then shout. I think that it was a very stressful situation and everyone just panicked. Hope your dd is feeling better.

It breaks my heart when I see a parent telling off their kids for whatever when they are very hurt. I can maybe understand it if they've done something they were told numerous time not to do (but in this case, surely you remove them from the dangerous situation anyway), but come on, if it was us adult and we were shouted out when we are hurt, how would that make us feel?

It makes me want to take the kid and give them a big hug and sooth them. Thankfully, in your case, your DD had you. Tell your OH that next time he hurts himself, you'll make sure you tell him that he is an idiot.

She’s doing brilliantly! After the initial shock she allowed us to clean and dress it, she was scared to stand up for a good couple of hours but was walking about like a champ after that.
