dd is 7 for the third summer holiday in a row she has broken a bone, last two were small bone fractures in the wrist, yesterday the big bone in your arm just below the wrist by about 1.5 inches this is quite a big break but thankfully doesnt need major treatment but anything up to 6 weeks in a hand to elbow cast.

dr's dont seem concerned they have all been accidents she fell off the sofa, tripped over a boy at school and yesterday slipped over in the rain, but should they break that easily, shes broke the left twice now and the right once?!!

I think it is bad luck and a tendency to throw themselves at the world. Several of the DCs at school seem to have broken a couple of things at that kind of age.

DD1(12) broke one wrist at 7 and the other just over a year later. Her DFs sister has broken both arms too.

Touch wood nothing since.
