Dealing With Toddler's Fractures
A toddler is a child between the ages of 9 months to 3years. This is a very important stage in child’s life as it is a transition from an infant to an independent individual. The new found independence enables him/her to explore things on his own, move around and even express himself with increased clarity.
This brings an all new excitement to their life and the zest to keep pursuing the decided task until they gain perfection, which often leads to stress and accidents in the toddler. These accidents may often result in injuries which might require a cast. But it is not as major as it sounds.
More than half of the toddlers require a cast in this period due to accidental or non-accidental injury. Also, it not a cause of worry because the bones of the toddler are still growing and certain portions the joints have not formed yet. Thus, the fractures heal easily and faster leading to perfect recovery from the injury.
But the major cause of worry here is the post cast phase when the toddler is in slight pain due to which he is restricted from his usual experimentation. They get very cranky and have no patience for you.
