jon knows angst

As a mom, I can confirm this. If we don't react, he doesn't usually. If he cries immediately, then it's boo-boo kissing time.

What happens to the kid if your response to a kid falling over is "Mmm, feels good doesn't it?"
TheLeafsAreActuallyGood
It's actually been proven that a lot of the time kids react based off their parent's reaction, sorry I don't have a source

I coach 3-6 yo with no coordination yet. Happens all the time but parents aren't around. 9/10 times, they're completely fine.
aguacatedeldiablo
I always ask "you alright?" If they tell me no, I ask what hurts. If they mumble incoherently, then it must not be that important, right?
DecemberRain18
I just hold my breath and try not to react at all so my kid can decide if it hurt or not without looking to me.

As a nanny, can confirm. No blood, no foul and you get your ass back up and try it again, baby.

For anyone wondering, the comedian is Jon Richardson and he is brilliantly self-depricating. Check him out.

I used to ask my kids if they learned anything...

"Never run again"?

My son is 10months old and is starting to stand/walk along furniture. And when he hits his head or falls on his butt i just make funny
UhhhhhNick
noises like "boop" or "bonk"
UhhhhhNick
or some other shit like that nd he usually just laughs.

I work in childcare and this is absolutely true. You make some pretty tough kids this way.
PolarHailStorm
Doesn't help if you follow up their spill with a flying elbow drop though. If you get it within 4 seconds of the fall it's a legit move.
HereIsYourOrangeSherbert
I start giggling, parents freaking hate it and the kid laughs, so suck it parents that reckon they everything!
MKubit
I reckon they everything.

What the hell was that sentence?
LightingSquirrel
Kid falls. You laugh. Kid thinks "I should laugh when people get hurt." Look forward 20 years, the kid is now a real life 'Joker'
rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Shadenfreude.

I scored my kids on falls and cheered them on. They thought it was hilarious.
Tyrannotron
When I'm with my nephews/niece's and one eats it, I usually just grin and say "you got this, buddy" and it mostly works.

"Wow what a great fall! Man that was like a big kid fall you're getting so good at that way to go!" *high five* (source: parent)

My mother in law claps, like something great happens. It does prevent the grand breaking down and show of tears, but still, I think it's --

Do you want stuntmen? Cuz this is how you get stuntmen.

I was playing with my little cousin and she bumped her head somehow and I asked if she was alright and she laughed at me, kids are weird
OnlyBegottenDaughter
i think you a word
Didgestep
This is my all time favourite joke
GuyNamedSean
With the exception of the six times I busted my face open as a child, my parents would wait for me to come to them if I got hurt.
LZYRMN
Yeah same here.
Awesummzz
I always got "Are you bleeding? Rub some dirt on it, you'll be fine"
Kidiri
Six times? Something tells me you weren't the brightest kid...
GuyNamedSean
The glorious side of a high pain tolerance.
JaydashCub
Probably not the brightest adult because of them
GuyNamedSean
It may be why I'm horrible at math.

I work at a portrait studio. If a kid starts crying, that's the end of the shoot, so I cheer, "YAY!" and clapping my hands. It mostly works.
jtb1313
Portrait studio?
BCEQT
A photography studio that focuses on portraits

I read your bio how do I redeem my gold star, is it a mail in thing or do I pick it up myself?
