I feel like shiit

MarMat

DD is almost walking, she only walks when shes holding from somewhere. So started to get to DC esrlier so she can walk for a little bit. Well, about 20min ago she fell down and bumped in her head. I know accidents happen, but I feel that she is trusting me to hold her and I failed. We both cried, I prayed for her and when she was calmed I left her in her room. She started crying again and so do I. I explained the teacher what happened and left. I can't stop crying. My poor baby...

If you cry every time she falls, she will cry every time she falls.  Really, she's learning to walk.  She will fall.  A lot.  And if you don't let it faze you, most of the time it won't faze her at all.

Hang in there, mama!

 

this.. it is hard to watch but if it didn't look too bad you have to be encouraging and say things like "YOU'RE OK" and "BUM BUM" in a happy voice... if she sees that this stresses you out too, it might make afraid of walking all together and I am sure you don't want that. Show her its ok to fall.

hate to tell you but she is going to fall and bump her head a lot while learning to walk.  The better you handle it the better she will handle it.  The more you cry you will make her realize there is something wrong...when she may not even be that badly hurt.  I understand being upset...but I would try not to show it in front of her

Best advice, when she falls, distract her by saying something like 'look at your doll, let's play with her'.  If you feel the need to cry, try not to just sit and bawl your eyes out, it will only upset her more.

 Unfortunately, this is so true.  I don't give any reaction when Tristan falls -- we both just brush it off.  He he starts crying on his own then I know he really hurt himself.  Most times it does not faze him, though.

 

OMG!  sorry for the bump burp...

I know, and this is not the first time she falls and bumps her head. It's the first time I reacted like this..

I've been feeling anxious lately, and I guess it hit me a lot to see her fall, and specially at her DC with other parents watching.. I think it was the worst part.

I guess I felt embarrased a lot..
