This was really fascinating, I’m intrigued to see what comes next. I’ve always had this problem with decision fatigue and honestly most of the time I envy the generations before - who admittedly had less choice and options, but were somehow happier or at least had less to decide about anyway! 😆
Wow, reading this post on Parenting Decisions exhausted me.
It seems to me the reason you are exhausted is you are looking at all possible answers to raising a child rather than focusing on what is the best course for you with your unique child. Every child is different and has different needs. A parent doesn’t need to try all options. It’s not a decision system to filter all information but knowledge of your genetic determinates, critical environmental influences of parenting and other non parenting influences and then an individual custom plan can be designed for your child.
You are attempting to diagnose and treat without a history and physical and lab test, only text books.
Soon my substack will go into this process and assessment of the individual child. If your child has no issues with X you need not spend energy anticipating that occurrence. You can predict your child’s strengths and weaknesses.
This framework is not about predicting weaknesses or diagnosing.
It’s about helping parents avoid decision fatigue so they can observe their child more clearly.Structure and personalization are not opposites. They work together.

I relate to this deeply. The goal isn’t more options, it’s fewer but clearer decisions. That’s exactly why I built this framework.

Individual assessment is essential.
