parenting articles drive me insane

My husband is absolutely convinced that reading all of these parenting articles is going to drive me insane. I have to say I thoroughly agree. I read about sleep, development, exercise, potty training, nutrition, to much sun, not enough sun. All of this information changes frequently as well. There is always some new study by some doctor saying this now harms your child. We have done it this way for 20 years but now it harms your child. Here is the facts to much of anything could be bad for you t.v. or sun. All of it can be bad for you ALL OF IT! I can't drive myself crazy and my child crazy trying to do everything like everyone says I should. God gave me motherly instincts for a reason and I need to use them. Every once in a while I don't know how to handle a situation and at that time I will hit the internet or read a chapter of a parenting book. But no longer will I obsess over what my child should be doing when. He is smart he is learning he is growing he is adorable and he is just fine to me.
