How to Identify Child Concussion
Symptoms and What To Do ASAP
Our kids are consistently falling or bumping their heads. As a parent, we should be able to recognize concussion symptoms.

First Thing’s First…
First, understand that concussion symptoms aren’t always demonstrated immediately following the injury. They can manifest
anywhere from 24-72 hours later.

The Unconscious Myth
It’s a common misnomer that the person must pass out in order to label a head injury as concussion. Not everybody loses
consciousness after a blow to their head.

in teenagers than smaller children.
