The years will fly by faster than you think. Kids nowadays will be flooded with things our parents never had to worry about.
When young, your child may have medical scares. Find the best Hospital in your area and get your child seen by them. In the worst case scenario, you know where to go and they already have your info on file. In my part of America, a significant number of kids are allergic to nuts, gluten, and other things that no one else in their family was allergic to.
You should start worrying about their schooling as early as possible. Their school will influence where you decide to live and your free time. By that I mean their after school activities are your activities and you will zero time for anything else but work and your family.
Today’s dangers are unique. At least in the USA. I had to warn my child about predators on the internet. No webcam or microphone until he was 12. No mobile phone until he was 14. I drilled in him what fentanyl is. Drug dealers cheat by substituting fentanyl for other illegal drugs. If they get the dosage wrong. You can die like Prince. Even breathing in pure fentanyl can kill you. With the all the shootings, I drilled the Run Hide or Fight mantra.
