Courage is needed to be confident, and Anya needs us (her Mom & Dad) to be confident in order to feel assured & secured.
As a first-time parent, I prefer to know in advance what to expect (though parents out there will agree wtih me that no matter how prepared they can be, their child(ren) can still surprise them along the way!), prepare my heart by praying for wisdom & guidance, and to come up with a plan as to how to deal with what is to come.
Having a plan is of significant importance, i feel, as I have learned from various sources that children, even babies & toddlers, need consistency! Plus, it is always easier (for both parents & the child) to train than to retrain! And how else to achieve consistency & to
Anyway, just wanna get this off my chest as the process of digesting all the information & devising a plan can get quite heavy-hearted.
