FAQ

What should I do if my child says they feel fine after an accident?

Short Answer

Quick guidance

Keep observing them closely. Children may say they feel fine because they are scared, distracted, or unable to describe pain clearly.

Full Answer

If your child says they feel fine after an accident, do not assume the issue is over. Watch for delayed pain, headaches, dizziness, nausea, changes in sleep, appetite, mood, car anxiety, clumsiness, school problems, or a sudden change in personality. Write down what you notice and when it started. If symptoms appear, worsen, or simply do not feel normal for your child, seek medical guidance.
