I have a 3 yr old DD and she is forever causing me injury but none of it is intentional. She doesn't hit or bite, etc... But she is SO clumsy and doesn't pay any attention to what she's doing.
She literally throws herself around with no regard for safety, no matter how many times I drill it into her to be careful.
I get jumped on, headbutted, tripped up. I'm over 8 month pregnant and the amount of times I've had to say not to stand on my bump is unreal.
She has plenty of discipline and will be told off just so she knows to calm down. But she isn't doing it to be naughty, she's just over excited :( When she's in that way literally nothing but removing her from the situation works but by this time the damage is done (to me). And if we're in public other people 100% encourage her and tell me to "leave her be she's just having fun"
I don't want her to feel guilty or ruin her fun and I know kids get hyper but I've got a bust lip, a broken nose and a very sore baby bump!
She feels absolutely awful afterwards by the way, says sorry relentlessly and that she didn't mean it and she was trying to be careful but got excited. I'm at a loss, anyone?
