My golden nugget parenting advice is never worry alone. If you’re worried about something, let somebody else know – whether it’s your spouse, your partner, your doctor, another adult in the house – there is no reason you should ever worry alone. And the reason why I think that it’s because I’m both a parent and a doctor. As a doctor, I never want to worry alone. If I worried about a patient, I’ll talk to another doctor about it. And that goes for parents too. If I’m worried about my child, I’ll talk to another adult about it. If you’re worried, let somebody calm you down. Or let somebody say, “Yes, this is something worrisome.” But never worry alone. If you’re worried, there may be good reason for it.
