I have a long history of falls and head injuries. When I was a child, I used to trip and fall and split my head open on our marble floors often. (I have Muscular Dystrophy which makes me prone to falling).

My parents made me wear a helmet as a child, and it's a good thing they did, otherwise I would probably be worse off today.

There is definitely a cumulative effect. Fast forward 40 years, and the head injuries continued, and now I'm struggling.

But don't freak out. Just make sure your child recovers properly from any head injuries by resting in a quiet environment for a few days. Eat a healthy diet, because junk food causes inflammation which will inhibit the healing process. Take precautions and have him wear a helmet while bike riding or playing sports.
