How it should be done. If you freak out, they assume from your reaction that they've been grievously injured.

Or you end up with a kid who learns they need to ham it up because they want a more drastic reaction from you. Or you end up with a kid who still cries hysterically at EVERY trip, bump and fall.

Not saying OP has the wrong idea. It's precisely what I did with my kids. But it's not some magical behavioral voodoo hack for kids.
