Who is Robert?

This is one of Milton Erickson's children. He is the center of a piece of chapter 6: "Childbirth and Dealing with the Young." Robert suffers an injury at the age of 3, and his father and mother deal with this incident in a particular way. Milton Erickson shares what he tells his son, shouting out sympathetic comments and later progressing into how he and the wife tend to his injuries. He even puts the context of having to have stitches into a familial context by comparing how many stitches Robert will have to have compared to times his siblings have had stitches.
