Oh, I'm so glad you caught yourself and stopped the behavior as all the pounding on those little joints and ligament attachments can take its toll on a little one over the years, especially if there is a congenital weakness in some of the little structures. I only came to that understanding of the problem of joint and infrastructure integrity after working for orthopedic surgeons for years and what could happen to people over time with repetitive stress and strain injuries and then seeing my Jilly as she merely was coming down her doggie steps and dislocated her little shoulder with one little jump down a step just before her 13th birthday. She had jumped up and down on those steps all her life but eventually, her little shoulder joint broke down. But it took me that long to come to a conclusion you've come to rather quickly in life. I'd say your little one is in good hands with a smart mommy!
