I was not trying to be literal, but more figurative in my example. So I'll change it slightly. You're traveling to a destination in another town. You've had a dental emergency while on the road after checking into a motel for the evening. The only person you "know" is the motel desk clerk. Now try and find a dentist.
The point is some parents do not know where to start. It's easy to make assumptions after you've been down the path and have been lucky enough to be pointed in the right direction early. Not all are as fortunate many of us here on DFP and we can forget that. How many times has a new poster come on here saying how glad they were to have found this site with virtually an unlimited amount of knowledge, advice and experience available to them.
Easy, I'd fire up the internet, log into DFP, and seek expert advice in the Theological Hitting forum.
PS Your point is valid. I myself had no idea that the world of travel softball existed until my DD was 14!
