Re: recognizing or denying developmental issues? (Jett Travolta)
Maybe you're not a qualified health practitioner but you are in the area of child development and care...and yes so are moms. Like I have 2 kids and I know a lot about parenting issues but I can only guess how it is like to raise a teenager from maybe when I was a teenager or from other parents experiences. But someone who is raising a teenager will be in a better position to answer teenage issues.
So my point was that the value of advice comes from the credibility of the source. And my reactions or actions are usually based on that.
