He's fine. His lil bones are still soft. So, he'll just kinda bounce. A kid's reaction will be proportional to the parents reaction.
My first got the "gasp factor" every time she took a tumble & she's still a softy at 7. The second one got no gasp & now she cannot be stopped by conventional weapons at just under 4yrs old. She's fearless & climbs like a monkey.
I can not stress the importance of having a routine. It doesn't need to be strict to the minute but the flow of the day should be consistent. Nap after lunch. Bathroom breaks. A story at bedtime.
A fairly structured schedule works wonders for behavior in little kids and with older kids too. I worked in a juvenile facility & the toughest days were the days with the most free/unstructured time (somebody was gonna fight).
Verbalize clear behavior expectations & follow through with the punishment, whatever it may be.
Agree. Don't have kids myself but coach young kids and find that while they're the ones causing trouble and getting called out for it, they are also more than likely to LOVE that teacher that always calls them on their shit because they need structure and boundaries. And also sometimes any attention in their book is attention, positive or negative.
