When Nature Calls: Leaving My Toddler Alone at the Playground

The other day, I found myself in a tough spot at the park. My three-year-old was happily playing on the swings when I suddenly needed to use the restroom. With no other adults around and the bathroom just a short distance away, I made the quick decision to leave him in sight but alone for a few minutes. My heart raced the whole time, and I kept peeking out to make sure he was safe. It made me realize how tricky these parenting moments can be—balancing safety, trust, and those unexpected situations.
