10-1 The challenge of acceptance
Your child could have a birth defect or learning/sensory disability. Regardless, children need love and acceptance for who they are, not for who they might have been. Children do not thrive if they are treated as though they are broken. Bookmark another course I have created, I’m Positive: Nurturing self-respect in children, for more information after you complete this course.
This means that you could be challenged in an even more profound way if your child has these problems. The mother as well is going to need you to ratchet up even more support. Hopefully she is doing everything she can to stay healthy during the pregnancy to give the baby the best chance she can. But even then there are no guarantees.
