Minor cuts are almost inevitable in childhood. Children are a bundle of energy! They continuously run around here and there and can’t sit still. It is a joy to watch them. Unfortunately, they are naive to potential risks and have a much higher chance of falling and injuring themselves or crashing into furniture in their enthusiasm.
As children grow, their muscles become more robust, developing greater coordination between the various muscle groups. Children also are developing their balance and spatial skills. Until this development is complete, it is more than likely that your child will fall and, hopefully, suffer only a minor cut or bruise.
Once you know the inevitable fall and associated minor cuts, you should plan for that eventuality (hopefully, it won’t happen). If we don’t plan, we either get paralyzed by the sight of our bleeding child or become hysterical and lose the ability to think coherently.
Hopefully, you have thought about this possibility and know precisely what to do!
Now that you have calmly dealt with the immediate injury, fuss over your child. Reassure her that you have things under control. Assess whether it is a minor wound or needs to be looked at by your pediatrician or pediatric surgeon. If you have the slightest doubt, put your cellphone to good use. Click a picture and send it off to your doctor or visit her.
You need to bear the following points in mind and may need to see your doctor (pediatric surgeon or pediatrician) urgently/early if:
