Boys fall off their chairs all the time. Mostly they just get back up. But sometimes they fall backwards and hit the corner of a cabinet. After they split their head open, they go to the ER in L.A. and get 4 staples. See how I know?

Options include:

  • strapping the boy to the chair (5-point harness?)
  • discipline measures (“If you do that again, you are going to your room while we sit and eat all the dessert.”)
  • getting rid of the chair (colonial kids did it, how hard can it be?)
  • waiting until it goes away (how many trips to the ER will we have with 3 boys?)

So, what do you recommend?
