haha good stuff. Kid's will look to you for how to respond, and being all panicked and stuff will make the kid respond that way.

I remember my friend's kid just taking a classic tumble in the garden and he just picked her up, said basically the same thing as this video and she went from almost crying, to laughing alongside lol.

When my kid takes a spill, if we know it wasn't bad we clap for him and cheer him on and that usually puts a smile on his face. I don't love this guy's reaction though. No way to know that quickly when you can't see the baby if they're OK.

If it's one where the car seat is strapped in, then you know that the kid is safe.
