A BALANCING ACT
Being a parent is a balancing act. Sometimes I feel like I’m constantly being pulled in different directions, trying to be a disciplinarian, or taking it easy and trying to give him freedom to learn on his own. Over the summer, during one of those moments of freedom, my boy dropped a rock on his foot and lost his toenail. Should I have been on top of him, yelling at him not to play with rocks? Did he learn his lesson?
