As I glance through the boilerplate on the After-Visit-Summaries from our recent doctor’s well-child checkups:
“Offer water when your child is thirtsty. Do not give your child soda or juice drinks more than one time a day.” I feel smug and give myself a mental pat on the back.
“Do not use TV and videos as a babysitter. ” I snort derisively (and maybe a little defensively) and scoff, “who do these people think they are, doctors or child-training experts?!!”
