My daughter is only two years old and, like most girls, already has a nurturing（养育） spirit growing inside of her. She tries to 1 everything that she has. She already has favorite suits, favorite toys, and even a favorite blanket.

Any parent will tell you that germs can get into the things the child 5 and cause them to stay sick instead of getting better. So, unwillingly, we 6 the blanket out of my daughter's daily life.

We have friends, habits, and guilty pleasures that keep us trapped in a state of sickness, disappointment, suffering or12. We'd rather keep them13 because they are familiar. But sometimes change is beautiful. 14our security blankets is a tall order but a15step for us to grow.
