- Remove your child from play.
- Ensure that your child is evaluated by a health care professional experienced in evaluating for concussions. Do not try to judge the seriousness of the injury yourself.
- Keep your child out of play the day of the injury and until a health care professional, experience in evaluating concussions, says they are symptom-free and OK to return to play.
- Tell all of your child’s coaches about any recent concussions. Coaches should know if your child has had a recent concussion in any sport. Your child’s coach may not know about a concussion your child received in another sport or activity unless you tell the coach.
If I suspect my child has a concussion, what should I do?
