Ya cant blame yourself man , kids do all the stuff you tell them not to do lol . all you can do is pick em up , brush them off and say i love you and dont do it again
Poor baby.. but we all learn that we are breakable... and though you never want him afraid...you do want him to be cautious in all the things he does.. i know it breaks our heart when our children feel pain...make sure you draw little cartoons and things he likes all over his little cast...and make a little game out of it... they sense that dad is sad and then they feel guilty... dad is happy and thankful it was not worse...
I can imagine how you feel, but like everyone has said, broken bones are part of growing up. Imagine my Dad when he slammed the car door on my six-year-old thumb!
When I was 12 I broke my humerus (it wasn't all that funny) It did get me out of school for 12 weeks...
I hope he heals fast and isn't too miserable in his cast
awww. its impossible for you to be there 24/7 to deter all accidents, but as long as you are there to help in the aftermath and show him that hes okay, and help him build back his confidence then i feel thats what matters! he will really look up to you, for you just being there makes a world of difference! youre doing the best you can!!
for me, my world rose and set on my dad-he is/was my hero as a little girl.. if i was hurt he would help me to see its not that bad, and that life goes on... just be there for him!
Its how they learn, of course that doesn't make us feel any better when one of our children get hurt, just remember it could have been worse!
I was playing catch with my 8 yr. daughter a year ago with a baseball, I threw it, it went over the tip of her glove and hit her square in the nose. You want to talk about blood! It was coming out like a fire hose! I felt HORRIBLE! I still have blood stains on the pair of shoes I was wearing when in happened. Luckily her nose wasn't broke!
don't worry man.
it's not your fault, it's just an accident.
In no time your kid will be a lot better, running and jumping in your arms again.
hope he gets better soon.
