Im such a worrier and I’ve come to the point that im not sure it’s my anxiety or being responsible. every time my little one is unwell or hurt. I feel so overwhelmed and need reassurance or feel the need to get in front of something. How do you know when the rig hug time to worry is. I’m so confused at this point.
I’m on holiday with my partner and my 4 year old. It’s day two. Already I’ve been on the edge of my nerves because of how many times he’s actually gone under the water for a moment eg going down the slide etc. now tonight he was playing on a rope thing in the park and swung sideways into the metal pole. He bumped his head it’s got a small bump at the back. He was upset for a minute but recovered quickly and was back to playing in minutes. But I’m so worried he’s hurt or I need to seek advice, it’s his head, I can’t see what’s gone on, how do I know if I should be concerned. He’s bumped his back side front etc many times on the past and it’s similar scenario. He only bumped his front about 3 weeks ago. He still has a sharp lump there. I can’t control my anxiety. My little one is so clumsy and I’m feeling completely overwhelmed with trying to keep him safe and well. I could cry.
I don’t know what I’m asking. I guess just that when it’s a bump to the head. You obviously don’t know the damage. He’s got a bit of a lump there, and is happy. But how do I know he’s ok. He took quite a swing and it is the back of his head. He’s eaten ice cream and is now asleep. I don’t know how much more my nerves can take. Or my partner.
please help. Reassure me with you bump stories. Or advise if you can.
