Anyone else have a very not graceful child?

Honestly we embraced it (within reason) we let her fall (a lot) when she was learning to stand and walk. We let her do dangerous(ish) things carefully and now she protects her head when she falls and doesn’t generally get actually hurt even if she trips. We also pause when she falls or go oh wow! When she gets up. Unless she’s upset we’re pretty chill about it. I think you have to be 🤷‍♀️❤️

Yesss our son is the same! Suuuuper clumsy! Our oldest was not that way at all, so I find myself over protective sometimes, but I’ve had to lean off it a bit so he can learn from his mistakes 😂

Yesssss I swear mine is so clumsy. He is constantly tripping over his own feet. He’s bumped his head so many times that if he has teeth by the time he’s two I’ll be surprised lol. But the crying never last long and he’s on to the next toy. You have to think if all the head banging is doing any damage lol I don’t think it is cause he is smart but still makes me worry

My little boy is the same he’s constantly just falling over for no reason , running and falling etc

My daughter is super clumsy, but so am I. Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree 😂

What Nikki said, we’ve embraced it. I encourage somewhat dangerous things supervised so he’ll learn how to do them more safely because he’s gonna try to do it whether I let him or not, I’d rather he gets some practice in a controlled environment. But yes for weeks he constantly had bruises all over his forehead and I was like wow school is gonna think I abuse him 😅
