Good for her. If you run and ask “Are you all right?” for every bump and trip, the kid will never learn that scrapes and bruises are normal. After teaching my (10-yo!!) niece to ride a bike, I congratulated her when she fell— it wasn’t until her second day and she was showing off going too fast. She learned thus that falling was normal, expected, and NBD. Of course, she wasn’t hurt— that’s a different story.

Probably growing pains. After losing teeth, I found growing pains to be the worst part of childhood. Who knew where it would hurt next time!

Like my grandfather always told me… “It’ll get better before you get married.” That didn’t help much either, but it almost always made me smile. :-)
