When to call parent

[Inspired by Reggio]

When it is a NEW family I always CALL the first time their child is injured cause for some parents there is nothing worse than showing up at pick up and seeing little Johnny with a FAT LIP or something and thinking 'OMG my kid got hurt and likely needed me and I was not there' ... if you call and give them a 'heads up' that X happened, I did Y to deal with it and he seems fine but just wanted to give you a heads up call so that you are not caught off guard that there IS a mark on his head/face/lip/various body part'.

Than after that FIRST time I will as you mentioned in your initial post I just ASK do you prefer me to call with the heads up for stuff like this or are you ok waiting for picking up to hear the details?

Honestly I have kids in care who have NEVER had an accident so never had to worry about and than there are those other kids who are just 'accident prone' with two left feet who trip and fall and bump themselves just sneezing whom you would be calling all the time and generally the parent KNOWS their kid is a clutz and therefore is easy with the 'unless it is something you feel needs medical attention outside of standard first aid than ya just let me know at pick up'
