Today my toddler had a fall outside and it was nasty, big scratch and bruise all down her face and knees, worse than she's had before. She was obviously really upset at the time and for a while after on and off. I really struggle with seeing her so upset and can't help but feel frustrated at myself for not having done something to stop it happening (although I know this is life and it will continue to happen). It's just so horrible to see her so bashed up. Does anyone else struggle like this? Feel so sad.

Yes my daughter got a black eye last year, she fell over WHILST holding my hand. She cried for all of 5 minutes. I cried for about an hour because I felt so guilty for not catching her. It still makes me sick to think about, but enough time has passed that it’s not bothering me or entering my head anymore!
