      You don’t usually feel better a few seconds after a concussion, do you? Even with lots of hugs?

      Yes.

      The current advice I’m given in Australia these days is that it’s better for children to sleep and be monitored than kept up and to become exhausted.

      If we had genuine belief that a child had a concussion and not just hit themselves on a fall (happens daily), we would ask for the child to be collected by parents.
