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

Yeah, let’s have concussed children take a nap

Sounds like diaper aged kids, so they bump into things all the time and will cry for 30 seconds because it was scary then forget that anything happened and be fine. You should see the way my 3 year old will run full tilt directly into things sometimes!
To quote my parent’s favorite Cosby quote “all children have brain damage!”

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.
