Bruised in a 4 year old

[MumOfHals]

My little girl is 4 and she’s always got a few bruises on her legs- she’s very energetic and hyper and goes to preschool 4 days a week and they do lots of fun outdoor playing etc.

I suffer with health anxiety so always think the worst and aware I can’t wrap her in cotton wool…

Anyone else’s little one often have leg bruises? She’s my first child so not sure what is considered normal. Thanks in advance xxx

Looks like my daughter's legs. Completely normal imo.

Completely normal. I would be concerned about a child who didn’t get bruises like this.

Looks like a normal 4YO who has been running around the playground every day and tripped a few times. My 3YO and 6YO look similar. In fact so do my legs as a result of precariously hanging an abandoned scooter off the handlebar of the buggy!

That's nothing. My dad used to count mine and I always had 15+!

They look exactly like my 3 year old's legs. I like to think of all the little bumps and bruises as just evidence she's having plenty of fun. Kids will fall over. It's what they do

Aw bless. I don't remember the last time my 3yp didn't have bruised knees! Running and tripping is their default way of getting around.

My four year old looks exactly like this.

It would be weirder if she didn't have bruises on her legs

My 7yo DD looks like this. My 3yos currently have fewer but they have been wearing thick trousers for the cold weather. Come summer I'm certain they'll have at least as many.

Not nearly enough bruises! Chuck her back in the playground Completely normal for a happy, playful child!
