April is Child Abuse Awareness Month
April is Kid Abuse Awareness Month. It breaks my heart to think about innocent children being abused (frequently by those that are supposed to love them the most). Here are some recent statistics on kid corruption in the U.s.a. from ChildHelp:
- A written report of child abuse is made every x seconds.
- Approximately 70% of children that die from abuse are under the age of 4.
- More than than 90% of juvenile sexual abuse victims know their perpetrator in some way.
- Children who experience child abuse & neglect are about 9 times more likely to become involved in criminal activity.
The highest number of corruption cases are those of neglect, with physical and sexual corruption next. In my post where I share Books well-nigh the "Tough Stuff", I listed some books that deal specifically with safe touches and sexual corruption. One of these books,God Made Me: The Safe Touch Coloring Book, is written by Dr. Beth Robinson.
Dr. Robinson has written many other books and is currently the Banana Provost and Graduate Manager of Behavioral Sciences at Lubbock Christian University. She has worked in a variety counseling positions over the years and currently has a private practice specializing in traumatized children. She is as well my cousin once removed (my dad'south cousin…and yes, I had to look up to proper terminology). :)
In award of Child Abuse Awareness month, Dr. Robinson has offered my readers twenty% off all of her books for the entire month of April. Just use the coupon code "teachmychild" at checkout!
In improver to God Fabricated Me, hither are a few other books that Dr. Robinson has written:
The Safety Family unit Book
"The Safe Family Book is designed to be used by counselors and foster/adoptive parents who are working with children who have lived in unsafe and chaotic environments. The book provides descriptions of a safe family unit and address issues of neglect, drug apply, domestic violence, and sexual abuse as dangerous behaviors in a family. It is designed for a caring adult to read to children while they look at the pages."
The Safe Touch Book
"Addressing sexual safety with children can be difficult. The Safe Touch Volume provides an easy fashion for adults to teach children how to avert being a victim of sexual abuse. The Condom Touch Book tin can be used by counselors, parents, and teachers." This volume is very similar to theGod Made Mevolume merely without references to God, making it suitable for families who are non religious.
Dr. Robinson has also created coloring books for each of the above books mentioned, making information technology more interactive for the children.
Although this book isn't related to abuse, information technology tin be a keen resources helping a child cope with the loss of a friend:
When A Friend Dies
"When children have a friend die from a chronic disease, parents, teachers and counselors frequently have difficulty addressing the grief children experience. This coloring book addresses the consequence of childhood chronic illnesses and death in a straight and empathetic style. The coloring book is designed for parents to read to their children several times while their children color the pages."
