Yes, it is worrying when the school rings you. Your first thought is always that your child has been hurt or is sick. It is so easy for them to get hurt, especially out in the yard. They can accidentally collide with another child and fall over. I did that, landed face down and got a greenstick fracture in one arm. It could quite easily have been both arms. I know of children who have fallen down off playground equipment because they missed a step and fell to the ground. one child missed at step at the bottom on the monkeybars. One sung herself too high on the swings, lost her grip on the rope, fell off and knocked herself on her head.

So pleased to read there was no break …sending healing wishes his way.

Luckily enough i have never had a scarey phone call from the school like that, they have always started with dont worry there is nothing wrong.. But at home i have found that awful things can happen so easily..

Our school usually starts calls with “there’s nothing wrong!” If it’s routine.

Such a terrible moment when he school calls like that – we go into overdrive thinking of the worst. So glad he was ok.

I always have a “oh God” moment when the schools number pops up on my phone’s screen. Glad your little munchkin is ok

Glad he is ok but you are so right it does not take much sometimes for them to get hurt

So glad it was nothing too serious!

Oh no! Always scarey to get these calls from school. So glad it wasn’t anything worse

Some time the most innocuous of incident can result in a major injury. Can never be too careful so it was great that the school contacted you.

Glad your little one is ok, children always manage to get bumps and bruises.

Luckily there isn’t anything broken. I can imagine, little one.

I’m glad he wasn’t injured badly. Would have given you a fright
