Remember as a kid, how you could bounce off stuff like a crash dummy and be fine? But now you can hurt yourself just getting out of bed?

A new study found the average child suffers 104 minor injuries a year, things like bruises and skinned knees. That's two injuries a week.

Kids between three and five suffer the most injuries. The most common cause is tripping while running. And the most common remedy we offer them is, a hug. Here are the ten most common injuries kids suffer...

1. Skinned knees.

2. Bruised knees.

3. A bump to the head.

4. A cut on their finger.

5. A skinned-up arm or elbow.

6. Bruised arms.

7. A cut on their lip.

8. Minor scrapes and scratches.

9. Bee stings.

10. Sprained ankles.
