---Committment must be all of the time/Partial committment allows the evil creep in and destroy family unit
+Responsibility and Gift of Parents/Parenting+
---LOVE is the CAUSE/PARENTING is the EFFECT
---Disabled children are a distinct and deliberate gift from God to EXTRACT MORE LOVE/NOT BROKEN

---The special needs child is SOMEONE and deserves the call to bestow upon them the duty God gives us as PARENTS/ not a BURDEN---IT IS A GIFT
---Directly enhances the love and success of the family unit/ projects into society
--Brings God's will and order to full circle

+Goals, Answers and God+
---Heuristics: For immediate decision making when it comes to whats BEST for immediate needs of our children! No parent should ever be afraid to be decisive when the moment calls for it!
---Find the Rule (God's Law) and The Problem to be solved
---Representativeness/What do we KNOW?
---Referencing what we KNOW contributes to how we solve our problems but if we do not have the proper disposition and exposure to true knowledge, our solutions will be distorted and unsuccessful for the future of our children
---Acknowledge what we KNOW and channel its disorder to the ordered/ Towards God's Will and Law
+Trial, Error and Resolutions+
---Quick decisions make biased answers/not always rational/emotions can take over
---Things come too easy, no appreciation for hard work, thorough examination of conscience
---PARENTING requires time and thought/excercise of the free will properly and with order, defines our actions and the result of how we have impressed what's right and wrong for our children
---WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES! Dont be afraid if you do! God promises us hope and the free choice to make amends and true change!
