I’m not a parent. I hate kids actually. As a penguin – I think I’d just eat them anyway…
One thing I do hear parents moan about a lot though is immunisation. The risks, the side-effects, whether they should or not.
How about a simple analogy. There is a small but finite chance that the helmet strap could choke you in an cycling accident. However, it is much more likely it will stop your melon being crushed like… a melon.
Prudent risk management is one of the things that separates us from apes.
At least some of us.
