While it is good to listen and take good advice, too often parents are bullied by others: by organizations, by activists, and even by doctors to make choices for their children that they are not comfortable with. Don't let advice given always become your mandate.
When it comes to vaccinations, do your research, and make your choice.
When it comes to independent or co-sleeping, do your research and make your choice.
When it comes to breast-feeding or bottle-feeding, do your research and make your choice.
When it comes to circumcision vs uncircumcision, do your research and make your choice.
When it comes to natural vs synthetic medicines, do your research and make your choice.
When it comes to spanking vs non-spanking, do your research and make your choice.
When it comes to homeschool vs private school, do your research and make your choice.
My point is, there is not only one single method of parenting or one set of choices that works for every parent across the board. Every child is different, and parenting styles vary from person to person. If you are raising a brat, it is already obvious that you need to change a few things. Listen to advice and make your own choice in the end. Yes, this blog shares a lot of advice and opinions, but when it comes down to it, YOU are the parent. Remember that.
