The Best versus The Good

Sun and Rain : Exploring What Matters

I am exploring the arguments for and against sleep training and letting babies cry it out. Is there a middle ground? Can you both love and support your baby even when you let them cry? I believe you absolutely can and you can I still confidence in the whole family when you do. Connecting these issues to Stephen R. Covey’s third Habit, Putting First Things First has been an enlightening exploration. When we frame everything— every choice and challenge around our ultimate vision for our lives, it becomes easier and easier to choose the best over the urgent and the lesser option. I want to teach people these skills. We can start with sleep training babies, but it spills into every aspect of life. My challenge to myself is to choose the best every time.
