⚠️ Never pull or lift a child by the arms.
In young children, the elbow joint is still developing, so a sudden pull can cause “nursemaid’s elbow” (a partial elbow dislocation).
👶 Most common in 1–4 years old. Signs may include the child refusing to use the arm or holding it still. If this happens, seek medical care.
✅ Safer: lift children under the arms, not by the hands or wrists.
