Sometimes as parents, we have to make decisions, that are in our children's best interests and not our own. As difficult as that may be. I am facing such a decision and am having a hard time facing the prospect. I just wondered, if there was any time that you had to make a decision involving your child which was more difficult than you might have imagined you would ever have to face and how you dealt with making that choice one way or the other. Who did you seek out to help you through it or was it one that you made on your own? Were you satisfied with the results?

yes one of the decisions I had to make I made alone, there was nobody to help me with it, it was the hardest decision I ever had to make in my whole life, and it was painful, what got me through it was the fact that I believed in my heart of heart it was the best decision and he would be better for it in the long run.

Any decision that you have to make that is in the best interest of your child, but one that hurts you to make it is difficult.

I have an almost 17 year old daughter. she has made me make alot of tough decisions with her. I hope they would all be the right thing but I am not so sure anymore. I usually make all of the decisions on my own for her. I hope it all turns out well in the long run.

When my son was acting up in after school day care, I made the decision to pick him up after school (which was lunch time since he was in kindergarten) and drive him to the day care at his sister's school. I didn't like having to do it when there was a perfectly good day care at his school, but I pretty much had no choice. The teacher there had let it get out of control and he knew how to push her buttons. Fortunately it was almost the end of the school year and the following year we moved him to his sister's school. Yep I was happy with the results, he liked it much better there!

It is true that some decisions are diffuclt to take and depends on what effects have on the child. Children are our joy and we do everything to make them happier and better that us. Well try talking to someone who is experience or try to go to a parent skills group they sure will help you. It depends also on what it is ,if it concerns the health of your child or your child's behaviour.
