Calling Children Mean Names

When little human babies are told at birth How stupid, dumb and ignorant they are Incalculable damage occurs even if done with mirth. Feelings of worthlessness follows their star. Damage like this is not easily undone. Being called mean words is truly not fun. It remains with you for the rest of your days Especially if it came from those who were given you to raise. So if you are hearing parents call their children names. Please let them know the damage is no kind of game. These angry words could cripple them in all kinds of ways. Much better to risk overindulging and give them some praise.

Thank you! Thank you, Caren, for taking up the problem of abuse of children! I present programs for children and adults on the damaging effects of abuse. Yours is a message that needs to be continually repeated! And, poetry is a wonderful platform for getting out the word! (sorry, no pun intended!)
