So I've had a 17 month old start with me recently and by recently I mean today was only her 5th session.
Chatting to mum on collection and she casually says "oh yeah there is something I've been meaning to say, Is X very boisterous when she's here only she's been covered in bruises just lately"?!
I was a little surprised but said "no not really to be honest" as in my opinion she is not.
She then went on to say "oh I thought I'd ask as I wasnt sure if perhaps there was something harder than say a sofa sofa or something that she could be hurting herself on as she doesnt really fall over at home".
I was mortified as the tone to her voice and the look on her face clearly indicated what she was implying!
I told her I will keep a special look out to see if I notice anything inparticular that could be causing it but I hadn't noticed anything so far and that it could simply be when they are playing on the cars in the garden.
Apart from the fact that I have been a child carer for 20 yeasr, I have 3 children of my own including a 2 year old and in my opinion when kids start walking they do tend to have bruise all over their legs for no reason!
Trouble is I know the importance of this and I know I need to record it somewhere but I'm not sure where really.
Any suggestions????
