I am happy that I can love my wife and my children dearly. However, the flipside of this is whenever any of them show any signs of getting sick I get extremely worried. I simply do not want anything bad to happen to them, and am worried to go to a doctor too late. My gut instinct is to go to the emergency room for every small issue, but I consciousely understand that this is not a logical response.

Do any of you have suggestions on how I can figure out what an appropriate response to different types of sickness symptoms would be?

    Sign up for a first aid for children course. The best way to manage these feelings and fears is to be prepared to manage them directly. If you learn some first aid then you’ll be able to manage a lot of problems yourself and know when you can’t and need help.
