When my kid would fall, I wouldn't say "Are you okay?!" and make a big deal over her, because this was a good way to make her start crying.

Instead, I'd start with "Did you fall?" and she usually say "Yeah," and then I'd say "Where did you fall on?" and she'd point to her knee or hand or whatever, and then I'd check in on that.

If she was going to cry anyway, she'd start crying all on her own. Otherwise, I was inviting her to self-examine and self-manage, and it worked great.
