My DS age 7 had an accident today falling off a wet and therefore slippery wooden bench he’d climbed on. A nasty, scary fall. Massive egg on his head.
I’m distracting myself from the worry by musing whether he’ll be a teen doing parkour and giving me kittens in 10 years!
So if this sounds like your child when they were 7, please tell me - are they still like it now, or did they mellow and grow out of it?
He started diving for dive sticks in the pool at 2, rode a pedal bike confidently at just turned 4. He has very little fear and is always leaping around, taught himself somersaults on the trampoline etc. He runs everywhere, rides his bike down steep grassy hills for fun. Climbs every tree he sees. And fences, statues, bollards if he can get away with it. Can’t pass the stream on our way home without trying to cross it on stepping stones or logs. He’s not into team sports but loves gymnastics and is just very, very lively. And lovely, I adore him but it’s exhausting!
I’d love to know how your 7-year-old daredevils turned out!
