While I do understand being nervous as I'm sure it was a frightening experience, try and see the situation for what it was.

There was nothing you did or didn't do that caused this *potential* seizure. And that's all it was. I can assure you that if the hospital doctors had concerns, they would have acted.

Seizures in childhood are not uncommon. Over the years, I've had two children prone to them. You would have covered these in your first aid training. During a seizure, do not pick the child up or restrict their movements in any way. Make sure the area around them is toy free and there's nothing they can hit their head on or which will hurt them. Time the seizure. Do not give a child or adults liquids or any food during or immediately after a seizure. You did the right thing in calling an ambulance to be on the safe side.

Moving forward - although you are nervous about this child returning, the reality it's unlikely this was actually a seizure but more like a temper tantrum. And the reality is, this won't be the first temper tantrum you will experience with this child or any others who come in his place or down the line. It's also realistic to understand that future children might well have a seizure too so while you are nervous, at least with this particular child you now know this *might* happen again. That's a positive because you know which child to watch vs the situation you were in before this happened when you were caught off guard and left feeling vulnerable due to experience.

After a seizure, it's typical that a child zones out for a while, and it incredibly tired. They can nap immediately afterwards and that's not uncommon to spend the rest of the day worn out. Seizures take a lot of energy from the body.

Going forward, I would better educate yourself so you are prepared going forward. Have a conversation with the parents and come up with a plan for just in case this was a seizure and just in case it happens again. It's an unusual age for a child to have their first seizure - it's typically around 2 years so I'm not convinced that is what happened. But have the conversation anyway. There's no shame in telling a parent, it frightened you and that going forward, you will be quicker to call an ambulance and that in the event of a seizure, you then have a preplanned course of action.
