Do you need a safety helmet or fall protection? Something like this, for example

I'm wondering if I should buy something like this

Loading...Hello, Unfortunately, I can't reach my midwife… My baby barely drinks for 5 minutes. The nurses at the hospital said I have an extremely high amount of milk, so she doesn't need to drink that long to get her amount, but compared to the last two days, she drank very little and rarely today, even…
Hey, I wanted to ask how strict your parental controls are on your phone. Please write the age, then what parental controls are set, how long they're set, and what other settings are there. For the parents, please write how you set up the parental controls.
Hello everyone, I have a friend who expects everyone to bring a present for ALL of her children when one of them has a birthday. She has three children. I find that pretty cheeky, even if it's "just" a small thing. I think you can do it as a family. Everyone has a different opinion….
Evening! I have a question. Tinted visors are always a big topic. But… I bought a visor from Louis. It doesn't have an E-mark. That's pretty common, and it's legal if everything's OK 😂. Anyway, I sent another email just to be on the safe side, and I got this (see picture). We all know…
Why do boys (between 6 – 9 years old) constantly touch their crotch (while playing, watching TV, sleeping, etc.) or even put their hands in their pants? Should they be banned? Isn't that uncomfortable for the child? And also for their parents and others? Thanks for your help.
I'm not sure if it's a hematoma, but I think so. I only had it yesterday! And now it's faded a bit. I definitely bumped myself, or rather, fell, and landed on my hand. I'm going to see the doctor today to see if anything is broken, sprained, etc.
If you fall backwards, you automatically land on your butt and sit down. If you fall forward, you automatically catch yourself on your hands. You don't even fall on your knees because, as you fall forward, you keep your legs stiff and bend forward at the lower abdomen.
How I know: My sister is a kindergarten teacher. She was a nanny for a while and has two children of her own. When I visited her, I saw many children fall (always on their bottoms or hands, never to the side). And I learned a lot from her. Children have great reflexes and fall instinctively.
You just have to be extremely careful on stairs. And with water, hot, and spicy things.
OK thanks
Such nonsense. What is the child supposed to learn from this? Probably not how to catch themselves, roll, avoid falls, etc. Then there's no reason.
Children who fall from standing height don't suffer serious injuries. Their bones are still soft enough, and their heads cushion falls from heights well enough. (Of course, it still hurts.) Children are also more likely to fall on their bottoms or knees. This is precisely what they learn: they prefer to fall there and protect their heads. A pillow like this can prevent this learning process.
Falls are generally only dangerous when they occur from higher heights (sofa, changing table, chair, etc.). In these cases, you should definitely be there and intervene.
Otherwise, when it comes to standing height, adults often put children at greater risk by trying to catch them (dislocating their arm is a classic example) than if they had simply fallen.
I wouldn't recommend it. Otherwise, the baby will learn that if he falls, it doesn't hurt and he'll be caught by a pillow.
If you're not doing anything with the baby, it's actually on a soft surface, so not much can happen. And if you're doing something with it, you can also catch it.
Greetings
How did children learn to walk 100 years ago or more?
You are standing next to your child, they usually fall on their bottom and it is a learning process that has to happen.
I'm just afraid that my baby will hurt itself
Your child will still hurt themselves very, very often. But this is also important because it teaches them to assess themselves and take care of themselves.
By taking small falls while learning to walk, they become more cautious and confident, thus preventing more serious accidents. But you can monitor your baby and intervene if a fall seems more serious; listen to your intuition. There are plastic protectors for table corners, etc. Perhaps learning to walk on a carpet would be a good idea.
