SHARJAH // Another boy has fallen to his death in Sharjah, bringing the number of child falls in the emirate to more than five in about two weeks, police confirmed on Monday morning.
The 3-year-old Syrian boy plunged from the 14th floor window to the ground on Sunday at 9pm at Al Manara building on Jamal Abdul Nasser Road.
The building watchman said the boy was apparently playing with his mother and that she had turned away briefly when he had gone through the window.
Police were called immediately to the scene and residents had tried to help the boy before they arrived, rushing him to nearby Al Qassimi Hospital.
Police are still investigating the incident.
The building watchman said that the family had another little girl.

Managing the separation process
- Choose your nursery carefully in the first place
- Relax – and hopefully your child will follow suit
- Inform the staff in advance of your child’s likes and dislikes.
- If you need some extra time to talk to the teachers, make an appointment a few days in advance, rather than attempting to chat on your child’s first day
- The longer you stay, the more upset your child will become. As difficult as it is, walk away. Say a proper goodbye and reassure your child that you will be back
- Be patient. Your child might love it one day and hate it the next
- Stick at it. Don’t give up after the first day or week. It takes time for children to settle into a new routine.And, finally, don’t feel guilty.
