One of the biggest challenges of parenthood is knowing whether or not you are doing the right thing.It’s starts at birth: Natural or epidural? Breastfeed or formula feed? Cloth diapers or disposable?
Every step of the way we are faced with more choices. How to discipline? Preschool or not? Immunizations?
In the past week, it was a decision about the other child’s health. My son had been experiencing abdominal pains nightly for several days and a visit to the pediatrician seemed to rule out anything serious until our little guy was writhing in pain later that same night and again the next afternoon. I pretty much decided to take him to the ER and even had the kids (and overnight bags) already in the car when the pediatrician called back and said, “Yes, take him in.”
Everyday we ponder, we research, we go with our gut, and oh, how we try to do the right thing by our children.
