Remember the ABCs of parenting from chapter 7? They’re so important that here’s a quick little refresher: I accept you. That means right now, as you are. Unconditionally. No changes are needed for you to be a valued member of this family. I believe in you. You are created as one of a kind, with gifts and talents, and I am confident you will use them for your own and others’ benefit. I know you are competent. You can handle this. You can face anything. You won’t crumple. There’s no doubt in my mind about that.
