Both my girls are terrors for hurting themselves and both have had trips to hospital due to falls. DD2 seems to be worse at it though, poor thing. I am really worried that her forehead will have a permanent lump if she keeps on going. No matter how hard we try she will not let us put an ice pack on her to help reduce any swelling.

I found that no matter what I did to make things safe, they would find a way around it. When they seem intent on climbing all you can really do is do your best. Maybe look at going to an indoor play centre and let him climb out some of that energy somewhere a bit safer. It may also give you some idea about what you can do at home for him that is fun and safe.

it is heartbreaking frustrating when they seem so intent on hurting themselves.
