It looks harmless. Lifting a child by their arms, swinging them for fun, or pulling them up quickly. But in young children, that movement can cause something called nursemaid’s elbow.
Their joints are still developing, and a sudden pull can cause a small bone in the elbow to slip out of place. It happens fast, and it hurts. A child might suddenly stop using their arm or hold it close to their body.
Most cases can be treated, but the moment itself can be scary for both the child and the parent.
It is a small reminder that even playful actions can have unintended effects when bodies are still growing.
