Whenever my little nephew fell down while running around the house, he would stay on the floor crying for attention until someone came to pick him up. After a while, he realized no one ran to pick him up as often as before again, and so he started to learn to stand by himself without making a fuss.
No one falls and refuses to stand again, not even babies. Stand up every time you fall, and add an extra!
There is a Yoruba proverb that talks about falling : when an old person falls, he/she rises and looks back (to see what caused the fall); when a child falls, he/she stands up and looks forward (unto the next thing ahead). Take a cue from both the old and the young.
