We call those face huggers, and I know , trust me, they do get a little painful sometimes.. the nails sometimes dig into the wrong spots, and you really don't realize how many sensitive spots there are on your face till you get a real good face hugger...LOL been there done that... Please don't take this wrong.. I don't mean it that way... You MUST be glider aware.. be aware of WHERE she is and what she is doing.. , by doing that you will be able to catch her in time.. we play a game called glider Ball. ours all love to glide and they chose the highest spot.. Oour heads, and when we are moving, many times that really means our face.. In glider ball we stand back a little farter than usual..find her gliding limit.. move back a little at a time..do this when she is at different heights as well.. That will give you a good idea of where you can safely walk or sit..When we play glider bal we hold out our hand open and yell gliderball, they glide right into it. It all started as we were trying to find a way to protect our faces.. well now when some one comes into the room, that doesn't know where the gliders are..they hold their hand up high and say "gliderball. They glide right into their hand..hold your in like a STOP position and then hold it it the air like that..use a word that won't be used for anything else, so she don't get confused.. try this out for a night or two.. let me know how it works out for you.. Good luck
