Observe not worry: IF behavior is really completely nl, and there was no loss of consciousness immediately, its probably OK. Bumps are the natural response to blunt trauma, and the human skull is built to withstand blows from front and back. Side is another issue, and more dangerous.

NO: Watch for signs of nausea, vomiting, excessive sleepiness or change in mental status. Kids are pretty strong.
