Serenity to accept the things I cannot change.
Your child has been wounded, a wound that has had a negative impact on his or her development and emotional health. Love alone will not heal your child's wounds.
Courage to change the things I can.
Successfully healing a wounded child involves change, lots of change. Changing those things about yourself that create barriers to the process and those beliefs that keep you from doing what is needed. Sometimes change will involves learning new parenting skills and a different way of looking at your relationship with your child.
Wisdom to know the difference.
Wisdom is the ability to think and act using knowledge, experience, understanding, common sense and insight. Any professionals working with you and your child need to be helping you gain knowledge, understanding and insight. If not find someone who will. Learn from your experiences and when those experiences are not successful, let them be lessons, not failures
