What do you do when one child injures another and it's more than just a hit, sctratch etc? Like for example it results in blood, bruising/swelling? Longer time out? Call both sets of parents? My daughter (3yo) got hit in the face with a toy (a toy computer) by another child. She cried a lot, poor kid. Her nose and the area beside her nose (sinus?) are a little swollen and turning purple. She keeps saying it hurts. i put some ice on it for a few minutes but thats all she would let me do. She is ok- I don't think it needs medical attention.
I put the child who hurt her (3.5 yrs old) on a time out. I left her on time out for the time i was tending to my daughter, about 10-15 minutes. That's longer than usual, usually its about 5 minutes, but i since i was icing my kid's face, i couldn't get back to her at the 5 minute mark. I figured she would be fine, since i could see her the whole time. Thoughts?
