Actually I think it contextualises their pain. If it was something serious a parent would let them know.

But they are ok… getting hurt is typically physical pain and emotional shock. The shock can scramble your thoughts and small children do not yet understand if they are ok.

I usually go with the old "now I gotta cut it off" works like a charm

I think when their person tells them they are okay it helps them regulate and realize they are okay! You can feel the feelings but still BE okay. 💙

my mom always asked "are you hurt or did it scare you?" it really helped me to be able to differentiate and ask for what I truly needed

I always ask are you okay? And usually what would make them feel better. Usually my kid wants a hug

Yes! My husband told me this early on in marriage because he didn’t love when people did that to him as a child and I learned something new then!

But they are fine. It teaches them to not freak out over something so small.

I disagree, most of the time they are okay and you're reaction plays a big part in how they react. But if they are hurt everything will be okay.

They are okay tho… this is a way of teaching your children the difference between being okay or not. If you choose to let them think they’re not okay
