This week's Little-Big Decisions.

- Do you let your 2 year old try to climb UP the slide at the playground? ("Go against the grain and be a daredevil" or "Use equipment as it was intended to be used"?)

- Do you try to pressure/force your kid to apologize when they hurt another kid? ("Learning manners, and using them often, is of the utmost importance" or "Let's talk about it, move on and work on having the apology actually mean something"?)

- Do you forcibly keep the princess paraphernalia at bay by hiding her eyes and/or hiding the paraphernalia? ("There's no need for a 2 year old to be focused on the more adolescent/adult themes of princess stories, not to mention the lack of real female power in most of them" or "the princesses are pretty and eye-catching and where, exactly, is the harm?")

- Do you assist your 2 year old as she tries to use playground equipment that is clearly too large for her? ("Reach for the stars" or "Know your limits"?)

- Do you give in to the easy pull of kids music or bathe her in Belle and Sebastian/The Ramones/The Beatles? ("the classic kid music is catchy, happy and accessible." or "I may have to gouge out my eardrums with tweezers if I listen to 'Ring around the Rosey" one more time'")

- Do you allow her to completely dress herself? ("Give her autonomy and control over her individuality; let her feel power when the consequences really aren't important" or "I don't want everyone think I'm totally colorblind/style-inept/negligent if I take her to the playground with a plaid shirt that's too small and stained flowered pants"?)

- When exactly to do you expose her to ("the tasty wonders" or "the artery-clogging, calorie-dense, nutritionally-devoid addictive taste") of french fries?
