Child abuse

By:Nadia Moreno & Marilin Anazco

In the USA, an estimated 906,000 children are victims of abuse, making child abuse as common as it is shocking. Most children are abused physically as well as mentally. Children are abused in their homes and especially it is their parents who are doing this type of stuff or someone related to them. If you see this somewhere you should immediately report this. Child abuse is not just hitting your child for something they did, it is just hitting your child again and again for no reason, or telling them bad stuff that could harm them mentally.
Never hit your child just for a small reason they're just kids you know they don't know about bad stuff. Even though their parents are their parents they don't have the right to abuse them. If your child did something really bad just take a deep breath and do some stuff to relax yourself and RETHINK!
•R ecognize your feelings.
•E mpathize with your child.
•T hink of the situation differently. (Try using humor.)
•H ear what your child is saying.
•I ntegrate your love with your angry thoughts.
•N otice your body's reactions to feeling anger and to calming down.
•K eep your attention on the present problem.
