[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 260144, member: 6546"] Hi Kathie-- Obviously blood and/or visible swelling gets real attention....but usually--we try not to make a big deal out of injuries. Our first reaction to a report of an injury is pretty nonchalant. Really? You're hurt? My daughter is definitely into the attention. When relatives visit--difficult child will experience a whole range of traumas...which will buy tons of sympathy from Grandma and Grandpa--including extra treats. Not to mention that she will enjoy the fun of watching Mom and Dad get chastised for not catering to her every need the instant tears appeared. Ugghh! My son is a bit of a challenge...because while he is a drama queen and definitely exaggerates the extent of his injury--he is also very accident prone. So we have to be a little more cautious in eliminating the "real" symptoms from the "fake" ones if there has been an actual accident, such as a fall from his bike. --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
