Checking your camera screen too often can lead to many missed opportunities for great photos. My suggestion is to minimize 'chimping' and turn off the auto image preview on your camera to reduce your bad habit.

I have a Nikon D5000, 17-55mm f2.8 zoom lens.
Here is an idea if you are really concerned. Set your camera to bracket the shots. Put the camera in Aperture mode, and then shot a three shot bracket. (With -1, 0 and +1 exposure) And shoot RAW, between the extra data in RAW plus the three exposures, one of them is bound to be usable.
Your example of this photo: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7153/6628653309_471f237ac6_b.jpg
It just shows how much you're wrong, it is dark, the boy looks like the devil with those black eyes and teeth, and blurry, it is not a good photo. That really is bad.
You obviously missed my point which was to MINIMIZE the number of times you look at it, not to completely disregard it.
