Am I doing the right thing? part 4 of 4

Currently, in my household, we are trying to achieve a delicate balance between supporting very high achievement goals and holding to some of the standards required with ensuring there's enough support and modification to support physical and emotional health. It's a tough balance to find and maintain consistently. On one hand, you risk under achievement and lack of personal fulfillment; on the other, you risk their health in some or many ways. So what's the right thing to do in order to achieve the perfect balance that results in achievement, fulfillment, and strong health? We ask that question every day, and try to "do the right thing". I know that we have erred on one side or the other at times and tipped the scales, but I have to believe that our ongoing efforts will bring it back in balance at least most of the time.

I know that we will never be able to answer the question: Am I doing the right thing? with an emphatic "yes" every time. We are humans dealing with younger humans so we are bound to face situations and feelings never anticipated, but I deeply believe that by asking the question and trying our best to answer with "yes" or "I'm pretty sure"' every time makes us better and stronger adults who are more likely to be doing the right thing, as least most of the time. And the closer to "right" that we are, the greater the positive impact we can have on those young minds we care so much to nurture well and adequately prepare for the future.
