Hi Janbo, thanks for your positive response.
I think that as with so many parenting issues there is no wrong or right way, but rather a way that works (or does not work) for you and your family.
The biggest learning curve for me as a parent has been learning to trust my instincts. Of course, we have to be careful not to put our children in harms way, and we need to seek expert advice when appropriate. But on many issues we are best placed to make the call because we know ourselves and our chidren the best.
