Life Lessons Workbook
Child abuse is much more common than official statistics indicate. In 1998, more than 450,000 cases of child abuse were reported in the United States. In 2002, 2.6 million reports concerning the welfare of approximately 4.5 million children were made. Out of that report, 896,000 children were found to have been victims of abuse or neglect – an average of more than 2,450 children per day.
2008 American Academy of Pediatrics statistics show more than 2.5 million cases of child abuse and neglect are reported each year. Studies show that one in five girls and one in eight boys will be sexually abused before they are eighteen years old. About one in twenty children are abused each year. While this figure is shocking, what is more shocking is that this number only represents 10% of the actual cases of abuse which occurred.
The only way to protect your child is by arming them with knowledge. “Life Lessons” was designed to aid a parent, grandparent, guardian, teacher or anyone interested in protecting their loved one, in discussing an uncomfortable topic.
“Life Lessons” allows the child to participate in the lessons outline within the book. By reviewing the child’s answers you will be able to determine what areas need to be addressed, if any.
Allowing the child to write his/her feelings on paper, will alert you to any potential forms of abuse that the child may have been confronted with. “Life Lessons” is designed to detect and prevent child abuse in all forms. It is the author’s intention to help stamp out child abuse in all forms, allowing our children to grow in a healthy and constructive environment. “Life Lessons” was written by Paul Tallini, PS and published by LL Research & Consulting, Inc dba Reality Check Program. |
