Consider letting the parenting choice stand alone as what you chose, rather than falling back on “I turned out okay.'
. In the hallway while waiting for preschool pick-up. In the line at the grocery store. At the dentist’s office while you’ve got your mouth wide open and are in no position to offer a response. Wherever you are, there is someone who wants to share —at least one person who supports their point of view with some version of the following:
Let’s pause. There are so many things to say about this, but let’s start with one. Before you get defensive, just consider.In research, we talk about sample size. You, all by yourself, are a tiny sample size. So, you can see why I put evidence in quotations earlier. It’s not really evidence. It’s an idea framed as evidence.
Just as automotive technology has advanced in its own way , we are learning to parent in more efficient, effective, compassionate ways. We have more information and research every day.
