How often does your 3yo bump their head?

[WigglyWigglyWiggly]

NC’d for this.

DS is 3. He does to one setting 3 days per week and another setting 2 days per week. The 3-day setting has sent him home again today with a head injury slip - for the fourth time in the last six weeks. That means a head bump leaving a mark (a bump, bruise, graze or cut). He’s had this no times from the 2-day nursery. The 3-day nursery is more outdoorsy.

Would you think that’s in realms of normal?

Only once that left a mark/egg - when ex had sole charge of her.. Several times over a couple of months sounds loads to me, but it might be normal.

That does seem a lot. This has happened to DD3 once since she’s been in nursery, and that was when she had just started walking. She’s not overly cautious either!

Normal for my ds at that age. I think sometimes as they grow and develop they do go through clumsier phases.

To clarify, not from being clumsy as such.

1. He fell over his own feet and hit his head on the ground.
2. They don’t know how, no one saw but they notice in the afternoon.
3. Another child hit him accidentally with a box.
4. DS says another child hit him with a ball and he fell over and the other child didn’t fall over. Nursery says he and another child fell over together.

When my DC was 3 I was forever getting bump notes from nursery. Three years later I'm still getting them from school. My DC is quite clumsy (as am I) and I reckon they might be hypermobile like me. I'd keep an eye on it though.

Sounds normal

For one of my DC a weekly bump/bad scrape at nursery and then primary school was the norm. No special needs, not hypermobile, just liked climbing, ran rather than walked all the time and never sat still! For my other two, I can only think of one or two bumps each that required an accident sheet.
