You don't have kids, do you?

Even an normal kid in a normal kid tantrum has amazing strength and can be hard to overpower without causing them any physical damage.

kids arms are short and chunky, with a much bigger muscle to length ration than adults of a similar fitness level. They are STRONG.

If you take a kid to hospital to get stitches in their head, they have professional holder-downers. They are all beefy male nurses and you can see on their faces the effort they are putting in to keep the child's body still -and they do that by crossing their arms so each elbow is on a shoulder and both hands on the abdomen.. Someone else holds their head still.
