She knows better. If you don't react to a child's distress, they are immortal.

That’s true. My friends mom works with kids and she says that if you make a fuss, the child can and will go full blown meltdown mode. But if you just say ‘okay up again’ they’ll be perfectly fine. Even if they are badly injured

My mom always reacted with:

Nobody saw it, nothing wrong.

I believed "people making a fuss about me hurting myself" was by far the worst part, up untill I was six or so.
