Give the Small Stuff Small Attention and the Big Stuff Big Attention

I remember a professor in college telling the class on the very first day, “If you put the same amount of attention into sharpening your pencil as into writing your thesis, you will only succeed in making yourself a nervous wreck.”

As a parent, you must deal with a million details every single day of life. If you put everything equal on the scale of importance – from putting toys into the toy box to choosing the right preschool, you would very likely make yourself a nervous wreck.
