[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 632684, member: 14557"] My boys have both played both lower and high risk sports, when it comes to head injuries. Paradoxically things have in some ways been better in high risk sports; when my boys were old enough to be at risk, it was already a real hot topic in that sports and lots was being done. Restrictions of more dangerous activities for young children, taking any head injury seriously, lots and lots of development of equipment and related things (even some quite costly investments for team owners in adult level, where risks are the biggest) and changes is how rules are interpreted. They have even stopped talking about concussions and are now talking about brain injuries instead: That really makes one stop even if it doesn't change a subject matter on itself. However in sports, that are considered safer, many coaches etc. are really clueless. I have seen kid being let to continue playing after clear hit on the head and symptoms to match. My easy child is right now in the most risky age in his sport. Almost as quick and strong than adults, but much less forward planning. I do worry about head injuries with him. Luckily he has never hurt his head. His worst sport injuries to date have been bones and joints. Neither has difficult child ever had a concussion I would know about. And he haven't had one in sports, of that I'm quite sure. But he was always an accident prone child and he was also bullied for years and years; and I mean kick to the head and stomp on him kind of bullied. It is possible he has had concussions and never told us anything about it. He was extremely secretive as a child especially about everything related to bullying. However with him I worry more about different type of sport injuries. His sport is cruelling to one's body. He has basically signed for living rest of his life with chronic pain already. It is just so hard for one's joints; I'm talking about joint replacements for athletes in their thirties kind of hard. Many book cleaning for their joints from their orthopaedics after every season as much as a routine matter than other people booking cleaning of their teeth with their dentist. difficult child has been lucky this far, he hasn't had any bigger problems yet. But this spring, over a month after his season ended, he one morning told me how he had been feeling really strange whole morning and that he finally figured out what was wrong: He wasn't in any pain at all.
