My daughter was also born premature and we had to spend 1.5 months in the hospital before we were allowed to take her home. It was a tiny little person. Now she is the tallest among the children in her class. A child who was given little chance of survival is the best student among the children in his class. I think such children are always capable and more.
No book will tell you how to raise your child. The child grows older, she changes. The former carelessness changes to seriousness. I think everything is happening as it should be.
May your daughter thrive and enjoy abundant seasons ahead!

And yes, while change is inevitable, may they retain the core of their nature.
Thank you for your kind words. They are truly reassuring:)
