As said yesterday, being realistic involves seeking help promptly, as at when due or as needed; not doing so might predispose one to impending danger or risk in parenting.
However, many people think that being realistic is against faith because they believe that reality and faith do not align. In the real sense, reality does not displace faith; rather, being realistic will help anyone make a well-informed decision as to what to trust God for and how to align one’s faith with getting it done.
