After a really active day, our daughter woke in the night complaining that her legs hurt (both of them, front of calves, just below the knee). Bless her, she really seemed in pain - proper crying. She is 3 and a bit and seems absolutely fine this morning. We rubbed them for her, which seemed to help and did the 'standard' (Calpol - modern panacea!)


A quick google suggested it could be 'growing pains' - anyone else had experience of this? I have vague memories of growing pains as a child, but deep down I've always thought they were a bit of a myth.

I suffered with growing pains as a child. I grew quite tall quickly up to the age of 10 / 11 and then only a few inches since then. I remember pains in my hips, legs, ribs and my back. I'm not sure whether they were technically growing pains but that's always what my dad called them.

Ohhh....



My poor boy who's 9 gets them at night. Nothing a good vigorous rub won't get rid off though & at a push some Ibuprofen gel does a good job.


They are good old fashioned growing pains indeed


As an aside I had the "I don't want you to die Dad.." tears the other night, it near broke my stoney heart


I remember both of the above, must be par for the course






W**F

    • Now I have heard everything…..not send your kid to a school because you don’t like the name - so to get my head around this, if school is outstanding, parents won’t send their child there because of name of school? Or have I not understood?
    • A quick Google says that it is not undersubscribed unlike many subject schools so those claims mentioned above may not be true. Last Ofsted was good.  You are definitely right about the money. This is what trusts do. Remove word ‘subject’ above Remove word ‘subject’ above I can’t edit my ridiculous errors but would like to apologise  for messy post
    • I have heard claims that people don't send their children there because of the name of the school..?  I genuinely cannot get my head around this one. The school is named after the road it is on which is named after the history of the area!  'Grove Primary School' is potentially the most boring name they could have come up with, and for a school struggling financially, is rebranding the school really the best use of funds? 
    • Certainly unique, can't argue with that.
