me n riley went to the chinese earlier he was his usual chatty self n enjoying running about which i told him to stop cause i though he would slip but no he doesnt listen has usual n wot does he do he goes runnin into the wall not looking n bumped his head well he was on the floor in tears n at 1st i didnt know whether to laugh or pick him up, he went with a right bump but it was so comical, obviously i picked him up n after i said wot u like n when i calmed down he was laughin with me, then he was copying everythin this man was doin foldin his arms scratchin his face etc i was in hesterics i think ive got a little comedian on my hands here, was i wrong 4 laughin when he hurt his self though? he's been ok since, he has a bump and it bruised straight away so i gave him a bit of parecetamol medicine when we got home n kept him awake for a good hour. have any of u ever laughed at somethin ur lo's have done? xx

I tend to laugh when Imogen falls as it helps her to laugh and get over it quicker. I think you know when it's right or wrong to cry, like instinct though as there are certain accidents that you know you need to be serious rather than laugh at them.

Charlie ran straight into a glass door once, i actually cracked up! he was fine and do was the door lol
Sorry if your wrong for laughing i think all mums are in the wrong. I'm sure there's been times we've been through exactly the same!

I laugh when caitlin falls quite a bit. Usually because she tends to do it in slow motion and make grabs for things/steadies herself and then still falls in a heap!

Agree with Shell - you know when to laugh and when not too. Eg the time she fell off bed and banged her head resulted in tears from both of us not laughter!

i always say if i dont laugh then ill cry, but tbh yes i laugh because its funny, no other reason i think you can judge when its ok to laugh and when you know its nto funny cos theyre actually injured!
one time i do always feel guilty about though was the time leo slipped down the boat ramp, it looked so funny, but then when he stood up and i saw his head was gaping i have felt guilty about laughing ever since

but im terrible for it...i swear i dont get enjoyment out of kids falling over x

I have laughed loads at Izzy's trips!

I don't think it does any harm - its usually obvious if she has actually hurt herself and I wouldn't laugh then

My nan who had 3 children and has loads of grandkids always says how amazed she is that Izzy falls over and just gets up and carries on (my nan lives next door and so sees Izzy playing in the yard and garden most days!)

If she falls I just say 'you ok?' and she normally says 'ok'...and even before I've asked she will say ok if she is.

If she has hurt herself she comes and asks me to rub it and kiss it better!

My opinion is that a parent who runs over and mollycoddles a toddler everytime they fall will end up with a right whingebag!
