It's the kind of story that sounds like it'd help me stay hopeful and stay positive in the face of everything that's been happening in the world lately.

I just don't buy into the idea that what works for one family works for all others. I find I doubt myself more about the routines we've established on our own if I read too much about how other families have done things. And I firmly believe that every kid is different, so trying to make my kid fit the model of a particular advice book just doesn't sit well with me. <br /><br />If I have a specific concern or question (like feeding my little guy now that he's getting older...) I'll borrow a book from the library, but I tend to skim and not treat it as the be-all-end-all -- just look for some ideas of ways to approach a particular issue if I am feeling stumped.<br /><br />And when it comes to any real concerns about illness or anything more serious, I definitely rely on my pediatrician's office. As my dad once said to my mom when he was was having a weird pain and she was trying to look up his symptoms in some book they had in the house, "I'd like to go where they ALREADY READ THE BOOK, PLEASE!"Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03215797870829907924noreply@blogger.com
