Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion Kids Folkstyle Need help

My son is 8 and he broke his collarbone last year the 2nd week of practise so he didn't get to wrestle last year. This year he is doing really good, but this weekend he started freaking out thinking he is going to get hurt again. Has this ever happened to anybody else if so how did you resolve it? Please any help would be great. My husband is a coach and he is out of ideas with him. Thanks,

Sorry, I can't help but I know how you are feeling. My youngest had to have his appendix removed when he was only 4 years old. The operation was successful but he was very sick and so there were lots and lots of test conducted (plus a lot of pain involved). He soon recovered but now, whenever he has the slightest little pain in his stomach (like just gas), he will freak out. He is only 6.

Finally, I had the doctor talk to him. I also checked out a book about the human body and showed him where his appendic was and that since they took it out, he will never have to worry about it again.

Maybe you can have him talk to someone at the high school who has broken a bone and then returned to wrestling. Or maybe have the doctor talk to him.

Where is the 1-800-SuperNanny phone line when you need it?
