How do you make children strong?

Question

Hello

I was wondering if there is a certain way to bring up a child that makes them stronger than most.

What i mean is that i have seen some children (quite young)fall over and think that they are going to start screaming cos they've hurt themselves, but they dont. I've heard of people talking about it, saying they are trying to get their kids to be stronger, but I was wondering if anyone knows of anything specific??

Thanks

P.S. I dont have kids.

Answer 1

Answer 2

I totally agree w/ missweeb.  It's what we do.  Of course, if there's a lot of blood or something, I take care of it but I don't OVERreact.  We usually say, "OK, let's go clean that up and take a look at it.  You'll be ok."  Something like that.  Sure, they still cry and fuss when they fall over, but not always w/ the major drama.  :)

Answer 3

sorry but eh? wtf make children not cry?

ps I DO have kids and your question is pish belongs in dark ages, if a child is very hurt they cry if they are not hurt they dont? Cant stop children from feeling pains  and emotions

Answer 4

None of my children are the type to cry over a small accident. Usually they will be bleeding and come show me with no tears. It comes from not over reacting to everything a child does. Children have falls and accidents. The whiny children screaming over every fall are the ones with parents running with a first aid kit at every accident. It started with the parents and the children have learned that how they should respond. Teach your children to brush it off and they will.  

Answer 5

They need to be able to think for themselves and be assertive.

Take a stand, and if others don't like it, too bad. Of course, they should be respectful of the opinions of others even if they don't agree.

Physical strengh starts with cardio training.

Good luck GI JOE.

Answer 6

you can make them workout and eat the right foods that should do the trick but keep this in mind you may want to do this when you do have kids.

Answer 7

The apple falls close to the tree.

If you are a weak person yopur kids will be weak. They learn by what they see you do.

Answer 8

Child falls over, (you knowing nothing deadly but a mere fall, leave them be, for them to get themselves up)

Answer 9

Its not about having a strong child. When my boys fall over i just go 'oopsy daisy up you get' and they get up and carry on. If you make a fuss as a parent then the child will too! If i said 'OH my god are you alright you poor little boy are you hurt?' i would get a totally different reaction from my boys and they would probably burst into tears or something.

Answer 10

They are individuals and some children are naturally robust.  Just nurture them to be what they were meant to be is my advice.

Answer 11

It's all about distraction-all kids will cry when they fall over if they have someone running over, hugging and cuddling and all that. Pick up a fallen child, quick cuddle and kiss then distract them and they'll realise it's not so bad falling over. Children react afraid if they see their parents panic.

Answer 12

My little boy is 17 months, he doesn't cry unless it really hurts. All we did was not make a huge fuss every time he fell over. Now he just gets up, rubs it better and wanders off!!

It's got nothing to do with being stronger though :)

Answer 13

i think u have worded this a bit wrong that's why everyone is giving u a hard time when kids fall a lot of the time they don't really hurt themselves they just shock them self's this is why most children cry if the parent makes a big deal out of it then i think this makes a child worse as were if u had 2 say upserdasy they forget the shock and carry on  

Answer 14

i so hope not! stronger than most? wtf? i prefer to let my kids develop and grow naturally
