If your 7 year old has only just got stitches out it is only early days yet. I think that your 7 year old will be fine and will probably not do anything that he doesn't feel like doing. If I recall correctly it was very difficult getting a 7 year old boy to do anything that he didn't want to do which means that it would be unlikely for him to have the problem of forcing himself to do anything when his brain is so tired and in recovery mode.

I know that I had some terrible bumps on my head when I was young and as a teenager. My current problems didn't happen until I was 45 when I had 2 concussions within 6 weeks.
