No, you need the Boomerang Nebula for that one.

will dry ice work?

It's almost like corporations can actually afford to pay their workers more, regardless, without any ill effects...? Huh, imagine that...

Its joke about the made up wage gap

If she ever goes into music she can use that for an album cover (that picture is so good that it would work for any genre)

Yup. I found that if you use a casual voice and say simply and neutrally, "ya a'ight?" they generally shrug it off and pick themselves up. The one time my son actually cracked his skull, neither of us panicked because we both knew the calm approach drill and it was way easier to assess his actual injury without all the emotional intensity.

You have a point when it comes to the reaction. I have a friend who babysit for her family and she reacted to the kid falling down with a smile and asked what the kiddo was doing on the ground, effectively turning it into humor, rather than OMFGAREYOUHURT. The kid was always laughing as well after the scare.

My niece can fall anytime and her worst reaction is an "Ouch" cause her parents reaction were, mostly, a loud "Kaboom" and a smile when this happened.

The same thing has a lot to do with women being regarded (and regarding themselves) as "weaker" or "more fragile". While there obviously are general biological differences, parents actually often keep reinforcing this idea because they tend to regard little boys accidents as "oh, boys gotta' learn" or "you know big boys don't cry!" and at the same time they tend to panic more when a little girl falls and go "my little princess, are you all broken into a million pieces?!". So they teach their kids to feel the same scraped knee more or less.

Been there, done that, very effective.

yep, makes a lot of sense. as the older sibling, my parents basically told me to rub dirt in it when I got hurt, but they totally babied my brother, so guess who's the tougher sibling?

Whenever my daughter falls or hurts herself, we ask her, "are you okay?" and more often than not she adorably says, "yeah," and then moves on. Sometimes she will be hurt and brings that body part to us for kisses better <3 But if my husband or I freak out (my husband gasps a lot and has learned to cut it back), she will cry or overreact to the situation.

I usually ask mine if they have left a hole in the floor/wall i need to fix and if I need to knit them any new limbs...helps to make them laugh/stay calm while they look for damage to the floor/wall etc while I look for damage on them x

My younger three children are great examples of this. However, my elder two, now 17 (twins) show symptoms of having helicopter parents.

True. When I was little, my mom just “meh, you’re tougher than that, come on now” and I just stopped crying and was like “oh okay” and then I forgot about it. Most injuries kids get are just bruises basically so that scream is just dramatic. Maybe they’ve learned that every time they screw their parents comfort them so that’s why they continue so mimic a siren. I got praised when I was a nice god who didn’t scream and bothers everybody around us, but if I started screaming after tripping over my own foot my mom just: You’re faking it. Stop whining, that’s not how you get attention in life. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Fully agree on the kids reaction, but if that makes them more sensitive to pain as adults is IMHO another story

That's what I was always taught.

My observation too

I was raised with 'whoopsie, up again!' ringing in my ears. I'm intensely sensitive to pain.

In my family when a kid falls everyone starts clapping. If they're really hurt then obviously you can tell and scoop them up to care for them. But the majority of the time the kid will be a little startled and start smiling and sometimes clap right along.

This is so true. My fav response is to go. Ehh, you can do better than that. You gotta try harder to hurt yourself next time! Lol. Come get a hug and get back out there!

Yep. Learned this with a wee lad I used to babysit; I miss that boy!

What does it mean when the parent scolds the kid for yelling & crying? What kind of adult that does kid grow up to be?

Its a hard to spot easter egg but its a refrence to the 1920 buster keaton silent film one week in which the main protagonist also has a neck.

wow i never noticed that disney is so good at the little details

Fake news!

I had to go back and watch the movie to be certain - it's such a small world we live in!

WOW! YOU MUST BE FAMOUS OR SOMETHING!

To the teacher? Why not?
