Most days I feel like I’m doing the right thing but then every so often someone says something that makes me doubt myself. Thanks for reminding me that in a sense, all parenting is an “experiment.”

I think every parent “experiments” on their child, and does so in the context of the biggest problem they have to face. I am very blessed that my “experients” are how to get my son to eat more vegetables. Your “experiments” by necessity are much different. I applaud you. It is parents like you that advocate, research, fundraise, push scientists to do better, and create breakthroughs. It sounds to me like you are doing exactly the right things.
