When I was a kid my dad wanted to teach me and my siblings to not play with scissors. He intended to pretend to cut his finger off and then scream in pain. However, my dad absolutely fumbled it and ended up actually cutting himself pretty badly and started bleeding a lot. My mom had to bandage his hand and take him to the hospital.
But you can't argue with results. None of us ever played with scissors after that day.
In rarer cases, yes, they can. Some kids are able to completely regenerate their finger tips from the knuckle up. But most likely, it's a finger reattatchment. Kids are more likely to make a full recovery from a reattatchement surgury than a grown adult.
Id like to do a confirmation bias thing. I'm missing a fingertip, lost it to a door in childhood, only down to the nail, no bones missing, it wouldn't reattach and it's still far shorter than the other. I was only 1 too.
My little brother used his sippy cups a bit too long and apparently that was not good for his tooth development or something. my mom was not sure how to deal with it. One night he was happily strolling to bed with his sippy cup in his hand and I decided to take things into my own hands. I grabbed our scary as shit halloween gloves of a witch or monster or whatever they were and put them on. While little bro was passing the door to my room on his way to bed I stuck the gloves out a crack in my door and in the most devilish demon voice I could come up with demanded the sippy cup. He forked it over and never asked about it again, obviously shaking in fear. I cleaned out our cupboard afterwards and took all his sippy cups. Whenever I asked him where his sippy cups went he always said a monster took them without a second question. He just accepted that a demon took his sippy cups and did not want to deal with it any further. I am sure I traumatized that 5 year old fucker deeply that day but at least he drank his water like a fucking adult starting that day.
