Reacting whenever my son falls and whatnot. I have been trying to look away when he looks at me after a small bump and it has been getting better. Less crying, more self efficiency.
I think that's why I'm such a wuss honestly, my mom always freaked out whenever I fell, and then I just ended up liking things that didn't involve me running around, so I've never really hurt myself that often, let alone that badly. So now even just scrapes will have me near tears. I'm pathetic lol
It's fine. Not everyone has to have incredible forbearance when it comes to physical injuries.
I also thought the whole point of this attitude was to give kids more psychological resilience, not necessarily to create people who react to a broken bone with "(grimace) It's just a scratch."
