THE GIFTS OF PARENTHOOD

our child is the greatest gift you will ever receive. From the moment you first hold this miracle of life in your arms; your world will be broader and richer.

You will experience a flood of feelings, some of wonder and joy and others of confusion and of being overwhelmed and wondering whether you can ever measure up to the needs of your new baby.

These are feelings you could barely imagine before–feelings that no one can truly experience without having a child.

Even describing them is difficult because the bond between parent and child is so intensely personal.

Why do tears come to your eyes the first time your baby smiles or reaches for you? Why are you so proud of her first words? Why does your heart suddenly start to pound the first time you watch her stumble and fall? The answer lies in the unique two-way giving relationship between you and your child.
