Please, I am very angry with myself now. My Son did something wrong and angrily I slapped him in the ear/cheek in annoyance, that was about a week ago, just yesterday, we noticed dried blood in the ear, same thing this midnight also, though he is playing very well and does not complain of any pain in the said ear, but I am worried.

Is there anything to worry about? He is 5 years old.

The effects of the slap must have been hard in the ear drum because they are made of extremely soft tissues, that's why the blood came out

Take him to hospital for doctor to prescribe antibiotics

I want you to learn one thing, never ever beat a child to the extent of harming thst child

Such act can injure a child and create cost for you to treat the child

Constant counseling has helped to create a good relationship between mothers and their children

Thank you ma. We have actually taken him to the hospital, antibiotics was prescribed and also an eye swab test to be conducted on Monday as prescribed by the Doctor.

Yes, I have learnt to be calm with these children, just that their play is way too much, in an attempt to look after them to make sure he didn't get injured, I ended injuring him myself.... Anyway it's well. Even with the condition of the ear, he was still doing the same somersaulting with his siblings......

eyya, he will be fine, may God continue to protect them for us, it is not easy to tolerate or overlook their rough play most times.

Apologies for saying you're not smart or sensible, I was pissed at you and I think I still am because you need to get off the internet and take your child to the hospital.

u are nice and mature, but honestly you need to be calming down when angry, so that u can choose the right words that you don't have to regret later. Op landed a heavy slap on a five year old due to unnecessary anger and he's regretting it now.

Am glad you will calm down for them

Boys are always rough at age's below 12yrs
From the age of 13yrs, they will stop gradually because they have exhausted most of it and are approaching teens age

Is only God that watches over children

We will continue to put our eyes on them while they are ever to bring in new styles of play

It's their time anyway

Infact, we will be doing the somersaulting together now, so that I can watch them well....

And all three of them are boys oooh.... I think I have a long way to stay calm

Waooo, now I understand why they play around, boys are like that

It's time you involve them in kitchen and home affairs

Like sweeping
Washing plates
Washing clothes
Dressing rooms

Just keep them busy with house chores and it will make them to be busy

Though they will still play under your supervision
