April is the month of springtime renewal. It is also the time when we celebrate the earth and make commitments to saving our planet and preserving it for the next generation of humans, plants and other animals on the land, in the sea and in the air.
April is also Child Abuse Awareness Month. As we are working to preserve our planet, wouldn’t it be wonderful to develop humans who are kind and loving to other humans? Wouldn’t it be great if the parents who are nurturing the young ones insure they provide protection and love to help the children develop into well adjusted balanced, caring adults by confronting their own issues of past incidents of abuse?
The best way to do this is to become educated about dealing with child abuse. We can learn about preventing today’s abuse and how to resolve past incidents of abuse in the lives of the adult caretakers. Often people who have been abused themselves grow up to become abusers.
The purpose of this month of abuse awareness is to advocate the practice of healing the child–the one inside the adult, as well as nurturing the growing child. This is not just a 30 day exercise; it is a commitment to awareness every month–365 days a year every waking moment.
Heal The Child. Prevent child abuse. Protect the youngsters from being harmed. Heal the child you once were. Heal The Child.
