Warm Hands

The unpleasant reality of growing pains: sore legs at night that are gone by the morning, what helps on a tough night, and the signs that are worth getting checked.

Aderet Therapy Weekly is a weekly paediatric physiotherapy podcast for parents of babies and young children, made by Aderet Therapy in Campbelltown, in the Macarthur region of NSW. Each episode mixes short talk segments with original songs written for the week's topic. This is a song from the episode "Why are growing pains not caused by growing?".

Lyrics

Verse

Front of the thigh and behind the knee

Down in the calf where it hides

Never a limp and never a mark

And it's usually both of the sides

Chorus

Warm hands and a warm bath

And a gentle stretch before bed

A cuddle that says it will pass

And tomorrow they're running instead

Verse

But one sore spot that is swollen and red

Or a limp when they're out in the day

Or still hurting when breakfast comes round

Then we'll ring up and ask what they say

Chorus

Warm hands and a warm bath

And a gentle stretch before bed

A cuddle that says it will pass

And tomorrow they're running instead

Bridge

Nothing is damaged in bone or in muscle

It's an ache and a long, long night

You stay close till the ache has gone

And the morning comes up bright

Outro

It will pass, love

It will pass
