When I’m around family or friends with my daughter and she’s playing and falls down, I’m her mother I can tell if she’s really hurt. Nine times out of ten it’s just a little stumble and she falls back on her butt or runs into something but I know she’s fine. She won’t fuss unless people around her react to it so I always say DONT PICK HER UP! And I feel as if its rude as fuck and over stepping your boundaries if you disregard what I said and pick her up anyway saying “omg awww are you okay” when I, her mother, knows she’s just fine. Not a tear in sight but now she’s gonna freak out because you’re freaking out. I believe fear is taught !!!!! She’s a baby she’s fallen down a million times and she’s gonna keep falling and it’s my job as her MOTHER to teach her to get right back up. Now I’m not insensitive, every once in a while I might give her some tlc after a fall and kiss her boo boo but most of the times it’s not necessary so if I say DONT PICK HER UP then don’t fucking pick her up . Thank you and goodnight
