If a child falls and hits his head, or has a nosebleed, or cuts a finger, I shouldn't look alarmed or make a fuss, and I shouldn't pay attention, at least not at first.The injury has already happened, and he has to bear it.If I was too nervous, it would scare him and make him more nervous.In fact, when we are hurt, what makes us suffer is not the hurt itself, but the fear it brings.At least I spare him the fear, because what I see of his wounds, he sees in the same way.If I go to comfort him and sympathize with him, he sees my worry, and he feels that the injury is very serious.If he sees that I don't care at all, he will recover in a short while, and he will feel healed when the pain is gone.This is the first lesson in courage, by taking minor injuries without fear, and slowly learning to take on greater pain.
