It was hell. I couldn't do anything effectively as I was too busy worrying and too tired from all those sleepless nights worrying. The worry caused stress and more worry and the cycle got worse and worse. Thank heavens I'm over it now and have a fairly laid back attitude to life. I agree that it's easy to worry about our kids - we can control our own destiny but have less control over theirs. I'm always fretting that they'll get bullied at school. You hear such terrible stories about that these days. After I had kids I started to worry all the time about everything. It was hell.

When asked a question like this, I like to get a good grasp of the definition of the words in question. So, I headed over to Dictionary.com and found that "concern" implies an anxious sense of interest, while "worry" is an active state of agitated uneasiness and restless apprehension. While the terms are listed as synonyms, I see worry as more of an active state, being more disruptive to daily life. With concern then being more passive, maintaining interest, but not disruptive.

I was wondering at what point does concern become a worry? As parents especially we are concerned about our children and about having a good job to supposrt them but when does it cross from concern to worry? I enjoyed your blog.

Upon reflection though it was good that you did not because you would have never learned this valuable life's lesson. How many times as parents do we want to prevent the fall or failure? When what we should probably do is let our children fall or fail and then let them pick themselves up so they can learn lessons that will last them a life time.

Situations involving your child can be very scary, and I am very happy that everything worked out for Carson. Dennis, you are one of the most worry free people I know, thanks for your comments.
