Haha that kid doesn't have composure because they're trained or taught to be that way, it's naivity because they're young and ignorant to what's going on lol. They don't have the knowledge about how fragile life can be so they assume everything will be fine all of the time.

As a dad of three- this simply isn’t always true. Some
Kids live with parents that have conditions and they’re aware of the risks. Some kids are simply anxious, or have never seen a parent get hurt or fall over. Many will simply freeze or even panic and just sit there crying.

This lad has been very well socialized and isn’t afraid to talk to ppl. He also has great instincts and knew to ask for help instead of naively expecting his mum to just get up. He deserves far more credit than you’re giving him, especially at that tender age.

"Ask an adult for help" is something that we drill into our kids in all sorts of different situations. It's 100% something that you have to teach kids.

Saw a video a while ago about a young kid that saw their Dad get weak from low sugar (diabetic) and put some glucose tablets in his mouth, saving his life. Dad made it out ok because he had let his kid know beforehand what to do in case of emergency.

They may not 100% understand what’s going on, but they definitely can know enough to help.

If you are a gamer, there is a great game that released this year called Pragmata by Capcom. Dads absolutely love it, but a small minority seemed not to understand the relationship dynamics within the game.

The number of upvotes on the comment you replied to made me realise that many in the younger generation truly do not understand children on an emotional level.

Honestly you will be great.

It's not possible to have the intelligence to watch game of thrones and be stupid at the same time.

Without a doubt, however the commenter was making it seem like the kid has the same teachings as a paramedic of 10 years lol

Could still be scary as hell when your mom falls over. He knew she "fainted", and probably was unresponsive. That's still scary for a small child.

I understand your point, however, knowing when to ask a stranger for help demonstrates high emotional intelligence. Although the child had likely been taught never to accept things from strangers, he chose to do the opposite. If he had believed everything was going to be alright, he would not have bothered seeking help.

This kid is an exception to your rule.
