I was doing some first aid coverage for some kids football this summer. There were typically a couple of minor injuries/complaints a game. Most them little kid, not really hurt type stuff.
Some of the coaches and parents would just basically tell the kids to suck it up and the girls I was working with did not like that at all. I had to explain to them that typically the parents and coaches will have a much better idea about if it's real or not based on the kids history and hopefully respond appropriately. You can't baby every 10 year old's complaint.
