DD (7) got a minute cut on her finger earlier today when she scraped it on a brick wall. DH was putting a plaster on it and she fainted. DH caught her and she came round very quickly but we know she must have passed out as she had no idea why she was on the floor! She then spent some time dry retching into the toilet afterwards. She has recently started to react badly to blood and injuries but this was the worst yet.
I'm not surprised or worried in terms of health, my (late) DM was hopeless with blood, and would often faint or throw up she cut herself, my sister is the same.
Just wondering if anyone else has kids that do this and how you handle it? Are there any strategies I can teach her to help her cope? My sister lives in constant fear of injuries because she knows she can't deal with them by herself, and that can't be fun. Any advice appreciated!
