My daughter is 7 months old and learning to pull her self up and crawl. She goes from the sitting position and then face plants into the carpet sometimes. So the first time she did this I of course picked her up and cuddled her, etc you know the routine.And someone told me to next time try not to react to her falling and see if she crys.Sure enough she fell and she cried for maybe 3 seconds she looked at me and I pretended I wasnt looking and then she started cracking up laughing. So I laughed with her. Now we have been doing this for days. What do you think. Do you think allowing your baby to fall is showing them that they just need to brush themselves off and try again or is this teaching them this moral too early.By the way I also have a 7 yr old who I babied soooooo bad he was my first and I never ever let him fall I always was right behind him when he was walking people used to make fun of me. Sure enough now at 7 every time he gets a little scrape or bumps into a wall etc. He is crying. I have created a little monster
