ailbheShe whines to get what she wants. But, unlike Linnea, she does actually feel physical pain, and her pain threshold is normal, not mindbogglingly high.
So when she's hurt she cries, or cries out at least. And what happens next is the bit I admire.
She cries, and tells me what her injuries are, and then I tell her what we'll do about them, and she more or less stops crying, though it's obviously still painful, and we go home and wash and get plasters (band aids) and maybe cream for the wounds. Or we but a burn under the tap - though I'm not sure she's ever had one? - or whatever. But the thing is, once she knows what first aid we're going to apply, she's ok. She's still in pain and still unhappy but she doesn't fuss.
