My two constantly try to tell me they are sick or hurt to get medicine because they absolutely love calpol. It’s a round the clock are you really not feeling well in this house. You are not alone there either. 🙂 #sharewithme

That sounds like a difficult one… I didn’t know kids could be hypochondriac! My husband is a bit, that’s bad enough.
Have you shared your concerns with a doctor? It’s difficult to know how to handle this, without encouraging your son, or on the other hand ignoring his tears if there is a real problem.

This must be quite challenging at times with trying to assess when your son is actually ill or hurt! I haven’t had this (yet) from either of my children – my eldest has been in hospital several times though as she has a heart condition and whilst she always copes well with her regular hospital check-ups, she also knows that hospital visits for her sometimes involve uncomfortable procedures too which makes them a little less appealing. I wonder if my youngest daughter will go through a similar phase to your son though when she realises that there are times that our attention is naturally a little more focused on her sibling during hospital stays. Hope your son’s phase of needing a plaster or a bandage for everything doesn’t last too long – who knows maybe he’ll turn that obsession into wanting to become a doctor one day! 🙂

Haha, this is hilarious! Charlie can’t talk yet but I suspect he may suffer from the same affliction – I’ve noticed if he bangs his head even a tiny bit he rubs it and looks pained, whereas the other boys in mother’s group just get up and go about their business (omg, maybe I am encouraging him with all the ‘boo-boos’! Must stop :))
He was very interested in a Wiggles bandaid I had on my finger last week too (my mum has a few grandkids and that was all I could find in the first aid box when I cut my finger). So we shall see…

My kids are obsessed with getting band aids on every little thing, but thankfully our band aids seem to hold magic and they tend to fix everything. I, personally, am a hypochondriac – I hate it and it’s so hard to fight. I stress myself wondering if it’s really something or if I’m just imagining it. It’s exhausting! I hope band aids are able to help your little one!

Any attention is good attention when you’re 4 🙂

I tried that but sometimes it is just easier than trying to reason with a 4 year old!

Don’t worry Josefa, I find it all very amusing 🙂
