I wonder what his intentions were in building a
pond?
Water can be very calming and soothing and also
dangerous, like many things in life.
If a child is taught to swim it reduces the risk but
does not completely eliminate danger.
We can't control any danger. It's not possible. We
can place safeguards to minimise danger, but we cannot control it.
It is a matter of what we as parents are prepared to
cope or accept in regards to risk. Our perception of what is acceptable
determines our environment.
But as parents we need to communicate and/or support
each others beliefs and arrive at an acceptable level of responsibility.We may
not believe or totally agree with each other but we have to communicate and
discuss each others points and then both compromise. Otherwise a power struggle
could continue and our children will pick up on this. This could be the greatest
danger of all, .....learning how 'not' to communicate.

And for the midwife spin, whether we choose
homebirth, birth centre or hospital we try to make an informed choice and
we accept the dangers and risk.
I did some work for a couple down the coast and they
decide not to have children because she openly expressed her fear of
complications and her distrust of bringing up children in this
world.
