CHILD

 There are many ways to raise a child.

And there are many people who want to tell you how you should raise your child.

Some will offer their opinions when asked, but many will give unsolicited advice.

it is easy to doubt your parenting decisions when you are surrounded by people questioning your choices.

The truth is that what works for one child may not work for another child.

The truth is that what works for one mother may not work for another mother.

The truth is that every day with your child is the first day of raising your child at that age.

The truth is that NOBODY has all the answers.

What should a mother do?

In a world full of opinions, all I can do is trust my own voice and my own heart.

Will I always get it right?

No.

Will I always do what I think is best?

Yes. With every ounce of my being.

If I want guidance, I will ask.

I will stand by my choices even if others don't agree with them.
