Mental Health Practitioner here ✋ Yes! It’s important to talk. Talk therapy is a thing. I admire your strength in talking about this. Healing love to you, your precious daughter, and your family ❤
Dearest Charlotte: Being a parent is such an intense experience and it gets no easier as they get older. I have been through two car accidents with my children, broken bones, my son being hit with 17 pieces of shrapnel from an IED in Iraq, and telling my children that their father had a heart attack and was brain dead. I am not sharing this to garner any sympathy, but just to share that life has a way of challenging us. Our children are looking for us to be a rock for them, but we cannot always be there with them. We have to give them some wings. Keep sharing with us because we do understand.
I am a clinical psychologist and definitely part of recovery from trauma is narrating / making meaning of the event. Children make you vulnerable in the world because they are so precious.
I went to counseling for a traumatic experience and the counselor told me anytime you talk about it or even writing down what happened helps to desensitize us to the trauma. Talk away if it helps ❤️
I think this video was therapeutic for me as well. You raised a very resilient girl bc she knows her parents always have her back. It's so touching to hear of a truly happy girl that even in her worst day she still feels safe. This is so healthy. I think somehow this story and seeing the way you care for your children healed something in all of ours inner child or something like that haha. You are great parents, thank you
So glad she's mending well and without surgery, which is great. That surgeon who manipulated her arm back into place? My goodness... he has skills! You're a good team you and your hubby :) Wishing your daughter a speedy recovery 🤗🤗
Glad to hear she’s doing well! I have gone through 4 ambulance rides, ER and ICU with my daughter, and to this day, ten years later, I still choke up when I have to talk about it. Seeing our kids in pain or danger is the toughest thing and I think we blame ourselves because it gives back a weird sense of control that we could do something differently. It’s hard to accept that we can’t protect them completely at all times. A big hug to you and your daughter. ❤
The coach that got a hold on you before you saw your daughter was brilliant. Having a son, that when he was younger needed some medical intervention, we are always teaching our children as well as other parents, how to handle a crisis. Your daughter and son got the benefit of seeing that at difficult times, the more you watch and listen, the better you are at caretaking. You were so brave, Charlotte, holding it together when our heart is breaking for our kids. I remember, you were wear testing a product that day. Thank you for sharing this, we do need to talk about important things, I agree.
I'm so pleased your daughter is doing so well. It reminds me of when my youngest fell and had a spiral fracture of his right femur and was in a hip-spica cast for 6 to 8 weeks. Talking with others was really therapeutic. Even being an experienced RN doesn't help because it's your own child. Also being a RN you know what can go wrong and talking was so helpful.
I am so glad that your daughter is healing nicely. As a mom, I can relate to the rollercoaster (to put it mildly 🙂 ) of emotions when our child gets seriously hurt. Sending you lots of hugs.
You're a great mother. My youngest daughter broke her left arm three times during her elementary years. She also did gymnastics and played soccer with soccer being her first love all through her school years. Although we want nothing more than to protect them, we just have to let them do what they love and work so hard at accomplishing.
This tugged at my heartstrings so much. Kids are so incredibly resilient, but it still never makes the worry any less on parents, unfortunately. Sounds like she is surrounded by a wonderful village of people, and she will no doubt look back on this and remember how many people took care of her. I’m sure it was a lot less scary with you there. Be sure to give yourself grace, you are a wonderful mom! ❤
Thanks for the update. We were worried. Your being able to talk about these things is a great example for your daughter. You were traumatized and lived through a horrible experience. I think you’re a brilliant and very caring mother. You also, incidentally, look fantastic 🩷
Glad that your daughter is ok, I hope she makes a full recovery soon! It's nice to hear you share your stories, as not many TH-camrs do that. I don't have kids but do see a lot of sick kids as a doctor, and can see it must be nerve wrecking as a parent when something happens
This mom guilt is what makes us better moms sometimes, because we learn from situations and I bet now Charlotte learned never to enjoy a movie again😅 I’m happy you shared this, and I’m happy your daughter is safe and ready to get back to doing what she loves.
Oh Charlotte-you did so well in that situation! Your daughter sounds like a tough little cookie, and I’m so happy that you both shared such a great experience with the healthcare professionals. That generally sets the tone for the entire recovery process, I believe. Lots of love and hugs to you, Eva, and the guys, and I’m so thankful for her positive progress!! ❤🪄✨
Your daughter (Eva? Aoife?) seems like such a trooper for such a big injury and procedure. So happy she was able to dodge surgery. What a tough and traumatic time for all of you, but it's amazing how resilient kiddos are. Hope all goes well for her, and you too.
Charlotte, I am so glad your daughter and you and the rest of your family are alright. Sigh, I know first hand how scary these events can be having been thru them many times. I have to boys (grown men at this point!) with various injuries and its always a trying time. You did great, and glad you have such a wonderful husband to steer you thru with calm. Kids are resilient! You take care of yourself now 💞
Dear Charlotte, i know as a parent, we have a son (young adult now), how super hard these things are, sending you all lots of prayers for recovery, lots of love and hugs, you're a super good mom, Charlotte!!!🙏❤❤❤❤
Hi Charlotte, thank you so much for sharing this traumatic moment in your daughter’s life and yours & husband life . Sending your daughter love & prayers for for her continued recovery. Love Katherine xoxo
Delighted she is on the mend. I have no children of my own but know how I feel about my most beloved nephews. Can only imagine how stressful this must have felt 🥰
What a brave little girl your daughter is Charlotte and I’m so glad she’s on the mend from such a traumatic experience. Been there several times in the past with my three they’re all grown up now however you never stop worrying about them. You are a wonderful mum never doubt yourself and your daughter is surrounded by so much love, wishing her a speedy recovery 🥰💜
The Mom guilt can take over if you let it! So the coach got to you before you saw your daughter was spot on! I tried never to let my children see me upset when they were sick, hurt, or whatever. I knew if I could get through it calmly I was less likely to scare them and they would be calmer. I would wait until they were out of ear shot and couldn't see me, then I could lose it! So glad she is better and thank you for sharing with us!
I’m so glad your girl is on the mend. It’s affirming to hear you say you appreciated the kind but direct communication the physician had with your daughter. I’ve worked in pediatrics for nearly 2 decades and I’ve always taken that approach. I’m hopeful it fosters trust. Also, the resiliency and good nature of children is the reason I’ll always stay in peds:) I hope she’s back to cartwheels soon!
so glad she’s recovering and happy for you both that surgery was able to be avoided. It’s so tough doing these things as a mum even though you’d never let anyone else be there for them other than you ❤
Thank you for sharing and giving us an update on your daughter. Thank God she didn’t need surgery, she had lots of us praying for her and your family. What a brave little girl. Praying for her and her healing so she can get back into gymnastics.❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
My daughter has had a pacemaker since the age of 3, so we are well versed in scary hospital situations. Kids are so resilient!!! My daughter is 18 now, but she has (almost) always taken it in stride while growing up. This stuff is definitely harder on us as parents!!! I hope her recovery goes smoothly and that she is back to gymnastics in no time at all. 😊
Poor little boo. I’m so glad she’s healing smoothly. I was a gymnastics-everywhere kid, too-thank heavens this experience hasn’t squashed her joy. Sending healing vibes! 🤍
Oh Mama, nothing worse than something bad happening to your babies!! She sounds like an amazing little girl and so happy for you all that she is healing. I hope talking this out helped you heal as well. Prayers for you and your family !!
Good lord I sobbed at this. If that was me going through this, I would have been the same. So glad she's on the mend, clearly a special young lady! Sending loads of love xxx
I didn’t know about any of this and I almost lost a tear or two. Having been through it with my daughter when she was six I feel your momma heart. Thank God for happy endings! Love to you all!❤
Charlotte what a horrible experience! And you told it so vividly, I was right with you! I’m very glad she’s ok now, she sounds like an amazing girl. You’re a great mom and please let go of any guilt feelings, they are totally unjustified!❤
Aww what a brave little girl. I’m really glad that she’s doing well and not scared of gymnastics now. ❤You’re such a good and loving mum. Take care and wishing your family health and happiness. 💖xx
Grandma here. I think a lot of parents have been through something similar while raising kids - I remember our two year old daughter toppled over a huge planter at HER grandmothers house in the garden and I literally thought her toe was severed. We wrapped it in a towel and I was too scared to look at it as we broke every traffic rule rushing to the hospital. I still remember the looks we got from hospital staff as my husband and I were both barefoot - in our rush to get there we didn’t even put on shoes. So glad your daughter is okay. ❤❤❤❤❤
Charlotte thanks for sharing. Listening to you share brought back memories of my daughter breaking her arm years ago. They too set her arm but she had no pain meds given to her prior to setting her broken limb. I will forever remember her screaming in pain-she was only 5 years old. She did recover and no surgery was needed. I am so glad your girl is doing well. A story to share through the ages as your girl grows up. Take care and God Bless!
I'm so sorry y'all had to go through this. You and your husband are awesome parents, and she is a brave girl. So happy she didn't need surgery and is healing properly. Sending hugs and love to your family. 🤗❤
First, you are an amazing mother! I loved hearing your description of your kind, positive, and loving daughter, but it is no wonder because she is a reflection of you and your husband. How wonderful that you all have each other, and I wish you a continued safe, loving, and blessed life! ❤🧸🌷
My daughter is 9 as well and when I heard it I felt it in my heart like sinking 🙏🏼 can’t imagine getting the call and then the Ambulance calling that is so much more scary.. she is gonna get better and continue to do her cartwheels ❤❤❤❤ you are a great momma!!!!!
I am so pleased to hear that you are all healing, both physically and emotionally ❤ being a parent is a constant worry isn’t it! You want to keep them safe from any and all harm, always ❤I’m still flabbergasted that you managed to complete your shiseido foundation review on the very same day, I can honestly say you’d have been forgiven for sacking that off and coming back to it another time😂🤯❤️
Thank you for sharing. I was just wondering how she was. Glad (and relieved) to hear she is doing well. What a scary experience it was for all of you. By the way, your daughter is amazing because her parents are. ❤
Im so very sorry for everything you daughter and family have been through. Your a great Mum, lol never doubt that! Hoping for a quick recovery for everyone. Thanks for sharing Charlotte. We are here for you❤
I cried more than once during your story. I could empathize with you and your daughter. It must have killed you watching the doctor set her arm so painfully. And you must have been terrified for her. But she is healing well. And once she's fully healed, she may be able to do gymnastics again. But for such a complicated break, she is doing amazingly well. Warm wishes and trans Atlantic hugs on the way. I hope sharing this story brings you peace. What a scare! But you are all coming through it brilliantly! Thank you for sharing this with us. 💚
What a horrible thing for you all to have to deal with but aren't kids just so much more resilient than we think. So glad she's on the road to recovery. Kudos to you for not melting ❤️
My granddaughter had the same accident on the last day of school last year She fell off the monkey bar! She only had paracetamol for pain relief and needed an operation pins were put in place and a cast! 2 weeks later she was swimming with a plastic sleeve on - unbelievable she’s a little trooper 1 year later she still has the pin’s in but they will be removing them this November! I’m a nurse and she has impressed me! She’s been doing cartwheels all summer and loves her gymnastics 🤸🏻♀️! Sending love to your daughter thank goodness it’s going well for her and you have absolutely no need to feel guilty! But that’s a good mother’s reaction imo! 🙌🙌🤗👏🥰😘 everyone’s experience is their own and thank goodness we have compassionate people who really care and love us! ❤️💜❤️
Good to hear you and your girl are both doing well and recovering! Children are so resilient and so much less prone to becoming traumatized by such events. My son broke his arm when he was 2.5y just literally jumping on our bed and falling off of it...not even trying anything bold. He remembers none of it now, mostly just by seeing the photos. I will however forever be traumatized by the memory of having to go to ER with him by myself because it happened during the first few months of the lock downs, and only one parent was allowed. I kept it together until the nurse told me that due to his age and the nature of the fracture, I will later get a call from child protection services. I lost it and cried for days over it. Hugs and hopefully your daughter makes a full and speedy recovery. X
Oh, Charlotte {HUG}. I'm so happy your daughter is recovering as well as she is; she is obviously a strong and amazing little human 🤩 And you are a wonderful mum!
Bloody hell Charlotte, I was holding it together really well until the part with the arm manipulation 😳😭😭😭 I can’t begin to imagine how you felt ! Your poor daughter 💕 Well done for being a super mom and being there for your girl. You are exactly what she needed 😍🥰☺️
Mom Guilt/Crazy Mom Syndrome is completely normal, trust me----I had many moments of those feelings. You ARE a good Mom, she will always remember you being a good Mom. My children are in their late 20's now (girl, then boy, 17 months apart) and when they get sick or hurt, they still call me. Your kids will be calling on you always. I'm glad she didn't need surgery and that all will be right again. Take care!
So glad she is doing so well, got such good care and has such an awesome mum! Many years ago, when my daughter was just a bit older than yours, she worked and rode in barns and helped to start young horses -- one went over on her and I got one of those horrid calls. Luckily nothing was broken - but she definitely recovered easier than I did. It was so hard to keep her off a horse for a few weeks .... good resilient kids Charlotte --- it stands them good in later years when life throws its curves at them. Hugs to you both
Charlotte, your reactions are part of normalcy. Freeze, Fight and/or flight are a normal response. Don't feel guilty. You're a wonderful Mum. We all see it. 🙏Prayers, your precious daughter recovers quickly. Children are so resilient, just like you said. ❤LOVE❤, Kimber(Austin,Texas USA 🇺🇸)
I'm so happy your daughter is on her way to healing. It's never ending with children, especially if they do sports. Don't feel guilty. It happens to all moms at one time or another. When my daughter broke her arm, she had fallen off a horse, and we didn't know if it was broken or not. We went to her doctor and she had a green break which is the same as a banana break. Children's bones are still pliable when young. She had a cast on for about 6 weeks and was fine after. You're definitely a great mom. Take care of yourself, too.
Thank you so much for sharing this experience, Charlotte! I imagine it was tough to talk about and I am glad things are turning out for the better. Good luck to your daughter on her healing journey.
So glad she is ok & you are too (mostly). The Ambulance service won’t listen to that call unless you raise a complaint so if it continues to feel distressing then you may need contact their PALS department xx
To the contrary, the totality of your reaction to this situation shows you are beyond a good mommy! Sometimes I doubt myself as a mother because of my lack of empathy in some situations.
Oh bless you don't know how I missed this news I watch every single video. Being a mum turns on emotions you didn't know you had that's for sure, I run around panicking and balling but my hubby was as calm as a cucumber every time our kids had a accident. I remember my son falling down a hill on his BMX he turned up at the door covered in blood I ran up the garden sobbing and a neighbour had to deal with it lol. It will be the 1st of many my darling and the fear and panick never goes away, my son is 43 and I still have a breakdown when I know he's hurt himself at football. Your little girl is very brave bless her and even braver wanting to return to the trampoline!! Your obviously a brilliant mum charlotte so well done you xxx
Oh bless you. My daughter broke her arm as a kid too. She was sitting in a chair reading (o.O). Sometimes you just can't protect your kids from the universe (or indeed how they sit in chairs) and it's a grave injustice to parents everywhere. Much healing energy and love to you all
There are 3 responses to a situation, fight, flight or freeze. Your body chose the freeze response, totally normal. You're a good mum.
Thank you!

Our children are looking for us to be a rock for them, but we cannot always be there with them. We have to give them some wings. Keep sharing with us because we do understand.
Omg I’m so sorry for all the trauma your family has endured 😢
Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry. What a hard time you've had xxxx

Hi Charlotte, thank you so much for sharing this traumatic moment in your daughter’s life and yours & husband life . Sending your daughter love & prayers for for her continued recovery. Love Katherine xoxo
When my son had his car accident. I had almost the same reaction. I froze and then I could not stop crying. You are a great mom. ❤❤
That was quite a story I am so happy your daughter is on the mend and that she isn’t traumatized by the accident. She truly is resilient.
Delighted she is on the mend. I have no children of my own but know how I feel about my most beloved nephews. Can only imagine how stressful this must have felt 🥰

What a scary experience! I am so glad that she is healing and won’t need surgery! ❤
I really appreciate your content and approach. Getting over the lack of criticism in many content providers.

Kids...and animals, are amazingly resilient, thank goodness!!! Us adults are really the babies lol, I'm so glad she's doing well ❤
😂...so true.
I'm so sorry y'all had to go through this. You and your husband are awesome parents, and she is a brave girl. So happy she didn't need surgery and is healing properly. Sending hugs and love to your family. 🤗❤
Glad she is on the mend-she has the best mom that's why she is a happy well-adjusted girl.
I am so sorry! I hope she continues to heal and does not need surgery!!
First, you are an amazing mother! I loved hearing your description of your kind, positive, and loving daughter, but it is no wonder because she is a reflection of you and your husband. How wonderful that you all have each other, and I wish you a continued safe, loving, and blessed life! ❤🧸🌷
I am so happy that you are all healing wonderfully on all levels! ❤❤❤❤
I am glad you made the follow up video. I know we were all concerned for all of you. I’m glad she is healing up (and you too).!
Aw, you sound like such a lovely mum! Bless you, Dear.
My daughter is 9 as well and when I heard it I felt it in my heart like sinking 🙏🏼 can’t imagine getting the call and then the Ambulance calling that is so much more scary.. she is gonna get better and continue to do her cartwheels ❤❤❤❤ you are a great momma!!!!!
So glad she's healing well!

So happy she’s doing great. Thank you for sharing! You’re a great inspiration too.
I’m so glad your daughter is on the mend! ❤️
I'm so glad your daughter is better and I wasn't much of a crier either until I had children too! My twins are now 25 so that's a lot of tears!
Glad you're all on the mend! I'm a PT and she'lll be fine😊
I cried more than once during your story. I could empathize with you and your daughter. It must have killed you watching the doctor set her arm so painfully. And you must have been terrified for her. But she is healing well. And once she's fully healed, she may be able to do gymnastics again. But for such a complicated break, she is doing amazingly well. Warm wishes and trans Atlantic hugs on the way. I hope sharing this story brings you peace. What a scare! But you are all coming through it brilliantly! Thank you for sharing this with us. 💚
Absolutely heart wrenching 😢 I’m so glad she’s okay ❤ kids are so resilient. I feel like they handle these things better than adults.
Thank you for sharing your story and blessings to your amazing girl and all of you. You are a beautiful person and a wonderful mom
❤.
I’m so glad she is on the mend! ❤️
What a horrible thing for you all to have to deal with but aren't kids just so much more resilient than we think. So glad she's on the road to recovery. Kudos to you for not melting ❤️
I’m glad your daughter is healing well.
My granddaughter had the same accident on the last day of school last year
She fell off the monkey bar!
She only had paracetamol for pain relief and needed an operation pins were put in place and a cast!
2 weeks later she was swimming with a plastic sleeve on - unbelievable she’s a little trooper
1 year later she still has the pin’s in but they will be removing them this November!
I’m a nurse and she has impressed me! She’s been doing cartwheels all summer and loves her gymnastics 🤸🏻♀️!
Sending love to your daughter thank goodness it’s going well for her and you have absolutely no need to feel guilty! But that’s a good mother’s reaction imo! 🙌🙌🤗👏🥰😘 everyone’s experience is their own and thank goodness we have compassionate people who really care and love us! ❤️💜❤️
Glad your daughter is getting better and big hugs to you Charlotte xx
Glad to know that she's recovering properly. I was wondering how she was doing. Good luck and strength for the rest of the healing process.
God bless your daughter! So sorry your family had to go through this! Even though the topic was sad, listening to you talk was therapeutic 💜.
Good to hear you and your girl are both doing well and recovering! Children are so resilient and so much less prone to becoming traumatized by such events. My son broke his arm when he was 2.5y just literally jumping on our bed and falling off of it...not even trying anything bold. He remembers none of it now, mostly just by seeing the photos. I will however forever be traumatized by the memory of having to go to ER with him by myself because it happened during the first few months of the lock downs, and only one parent was allowed. I kept it together until the nurse told me that due to his age and the nature of the fracture, I will later get a call from child protection services. I lost it and cried for days over it. Hugs and hopefully your daughter makes a full and speedy recovery. X
Oh, Charlotte! I really feel for you. So glad your daughter is on the mend. How traumatic for all of you. Xxx
Thanks for sharing Charlotte! Children are so resilient, but how scary for you all!
Charlotte, I will listen to you anytime. God bless you and your family.
Oh, Charlotte {HUG}. I'm so happy your daughter is recovering as well as she is; she is obviously a strong and amazing little human 🤩 And you are a wonderful mum!
Bloody hell Charlotte, I was holding it together really well until the part with the arm manipulation 😳😭😭😭
I can’t begin to imagine how you felt ! Your poor daughter 💕
Well done for being a super mom and being there for your girl. You are exactly what she needed 😍🥰☺️
I’m so sorry this happened to your daughter be strong everything will be okay in the end she only knows that she is loved ❤❤
Mom Guilt/Crazy Mom Syndrome is completely normal, trust me----I had many moments of those feelings. You ARE a good Mom, she will always remember you being a good Mom. My children are in their late 20's now (girl, then boy, 17 months apart) and when they get sick or hurt, they still call me. Your kids will be calling on you always. I'm glad she didn't need surgery and that all will be right again. Take care!
So glad she is doing so well, got such good care and has such an awesome mum! Many years ago, when my daughter was just a bit older than yours, she worked and rode in barns and helped to start young horses -- one went over on her and I got one of those horrid calls. Luckily nothing was broken - but she definitely recovered easier than I did. It was so hard to keep her off a horse for a few weeks .... good resilient kids Charlotte --- it stands them good in later years when life throws its curves at them. Hugs to you both
Charlotte, your reactions are part of normalcy. Freeze, Fight and/or flight are a normal response. Don't feel guilty. You're a wonderful Mum. We all see it. 🙏Prayers, your precious daughter recovers quickly. Children are so resilient, just like you said. ❤LOVE❤, Kimber(Austin,Texas USA 🇺🇸)
I'm so happy your daughter is on her way to healing. It's never ending with children, especially if they do sports. Don't feel guilty. It happens to all moms at one time or another. When my daughter broke her arm, she had fallen off a horse, and we didn't know if it was broken or not. We went to her doctor and she had a green break which is the same as a banana break. Children's bones are still pliable when young. She had a cast on for about 6 weeks and was fine after. You're definitely a great mom. Take care of yourself, too.
Thank you so much for sharing this experience, Charlotte! I imagine it was tough to talk about and I am glad things are turning out for the better. Good luck to your daughter on her healing journey.
What a terrifying experience! So glad your daughter is on the mend.
Poor bebe! So glad she’s doing better. Sounds like she was very brave throughout the whole process. So glad you were able to avoid surgery!
So glad she is ok & you are too (mostly). The Ambulance service won’t listen to that call unless you raise a complaint so if it continues to feel distressing then you may need contact their PALS department xx
Thank you for sharing this. We moms can relate to the trauma. I am glad she is on the mend.
To the contrary, the totality of your reaction to this situation shows you are beyond a good mommy! Sometimes I doubt myself as a mother because of my lack of empathy in some situations.
Oh bless you don't know how I missed this news I watch every single video. Being a mum turns on emotions you didn't know you had that's for sure, I run around panicking and balling but my hubby was as calm as a cucumber every time our kids had a accident. I remember my son falling down a hill on his BMX he turned up at the door covered in blood I ran up the garden sobbing and a neighbour had to deal with it lol. It will be the 1st of many my darling and the fear and panick never goes away, my son is 43 and I still have a breakdown when I know he's hurt himself at football. Your little girl is very brave bless her and even braver wanting to return to the trampoline!! Your obviously a brilliant mum charlotte so well done you xxx
I'm thanking she doing well.
Oh bless you. My daughter broke her arm as a kid too. She was sitting in a chair reading (o.O). Sometimes you just can't protect your kids from the universe (or indeed how they sit in chairs) and it's a grave injustice to parents everywhere. Much healing energy and love to you all
