Talking to kids about accidents and disability

I came across this clip on youtube ... vintage Sesame Street and I just thought: what a great way to approach a potentially difficult subject and just chat about wheelchairs, handicaps and accidents.

Accidents - what fathers can do?

Recently some good friends of ours gave us a call to come down and look after their 2 other children as there 3rd child had tripped and fallen into the front glass door. I live up the road so went straight there, when I heard an ambulance had been called my brain didn’t connect with the seriousness of it. I was thinking as I was going down there it can’t be too bad! Well when I got there I saw a jagged hole where the glass use to be and then I was told it was bad! Still didn’t think much of it, the mother was looking after the 2 younger ones as the father was looking after the older injured one. They knew I wasn’t good with blood at all, and they made sure they kept him away from me.
