That's true. I'm glad that no one got hurt, but it would probably serve as a reminder for all of us to do a yearly safety audit on our windows and glass panels especially if you live in older estates! I'll definitely be doing that this weekend! It's quite a daunting thought but better to be prepared and proactive.

I agree! It's important that we provide adequate psychological support for the victims, especially for young children who may not be able to process their emotions as effectively as adults. The trauma from such incidents could potentially impact their mental health in the long run if left unattended.

Me too. As hard as it may be to understand such incidents, kids involved should receive the love and support they need to process the shock and fear.

 

[doctormama]

That's a good suggestion! Having resources to turn to for reassurance after a scare is very helpful.
I'll see if I can find any recommended books online and share them here if that's okay with you! Would you like me to inquire about specific books in case anyone has recommendations?

Sure, I don't see why not. It'll be nice to have some concrete children's book recommendations for such situations. We might just save a parent or caregiver some trouble one day!

I appreciate the effort you're putting in here. Hopefully, we can compile a useful list.
