A father, who made his son set off firecrackers, in a bid to ‘toughen him up’, only succeeded in giving the timid child a mild epileptic fit.

Xiao Bing, who fell on his head when he was one year old, has always been extremely meek and frightened of loud noises, as well as seemingly harmless creatures such as insects and kittens.

In order to ‘train his courage’, Xiao Bing’s father bought a box of firecrackers and fireworks and forced Xiao Bing to set them off. Xiao Bing did as he was told, but when the fireworks went off, he collapsed to the floor, crying, convulsing and foaming at the mouth.

Xiao Bing’s father took him to the hospital a few days later and he was diagnosed with mild epilepsy. The doctor advised that children’s nervous systems can be very delicate and strongly opposed the idea of terrifying them in order to ‘toughen them up’.
