Child abuse is more than bruises, 
While physical abuse is shocking 
Due to the scars it leaves, 
Not all child abuse is as obvious. 
Ignoring children's needs, 
Putting them in unsupervised, 
Dangerous situations, or 
Making a child feel worthless, or 
Stupid are also child abuse. 
Regardless of the type of child abuse, 
The result is serious emotional harm. 
Physical abuse is just one type of child abuse.
 


Neglect and emotional abuse 
Can be just as damaging and 
Since they are more subtle, 
Others are less likely to intervene. 
While its easy to say that only 
Bad people abuse their children. 
Its not always so black and white and 
Doesn't only happen in poor families or, 
Bad neighborhoods. 
It crosses all racial, economic and cultural lines. 
Sometimes, families who seem to have it all 
From the outside are hiding a different story 
Behind closed doors. 
While abuse by strangers does happen, 
Most abusers are family members or 
Others close to the family.
Child sexual abuse a hidden type of abuse.
The use of praise or rewards doesn't 
Make children feel supported. 
It makes them feel evaluated and judged. 
In particular when praise is a technique, 
We have learned from a book or a seminar, 
It's likely to come across as false and contrived. 
Praise and rewards, like flattery, 
Can stink of our efforts to control 
And lose our child's respect. 
Focus the child on his/her own pleasure at achieving. 
Help him/her to self-evaluate. 
Children are born with an enormous desire to learn.
