How to break a leg (read description)?
Hi, I am a college student majoring in child psychology. I’m taking summer classes and we are doing an assignment. I am writing about ways a child could go to break his/her leg for attention and what could be done to help said child. Any rational answer would be nice, nothing like jump off the empire state building or go play in traffic. Thank you. =]

Fall down the stairs.
Fall off a piece of playground equipment.
Bicycle accident.
This seems a very serious and painful way to get attention . . . . wouldn’t a bruise or fracture be just as effective?

WOw i never really though about someone especially a child going to those types of extremes to get attention. I guess it happens though. I am always telling my daughter to quit doing that before you break your leg or bust your face. SOme of the things she is doing when i say this are. Riding her bkie down the front porch steps. Climbing on top of the van, Jumping off the porch over the steps. JUmping off the swings going really high. Balancing on the banister. She is naturally a dare devil so i soend most of my day saying quit doing that before your get hurt. LOL

A child could twist their legs around a pole in a way that when they sit down, the knees become dislocated. A child could sit under a car, stretch leg and break with brick, etc. There are literally a million ways this could happen.
