He uses his life and words not for pity, but to open our mind and hearts to compassionate action. Hear him." - Lissa Lazaro, LCSW "An amazing walk through the life of one man and the powerful impact that he has made, and continues to make, in this world. A story that makes you analyze life more optimistically. A brutal reality that teaches you to find positives in all that you have survived." - Shawna Bethel MA "Dahveed reveals his courageous personal journey of survival and triumph over experiences of childhood abuse and racism. His poetry in the form of a flowing stream of consciousness is optimistic. His life and work is guided by identification with Judaism which has improbably nurtured an entire nation for thousands of years despite multiple existential threats." - Jeffrey Max, M.D., Professor, Dept. of Psychiatry, University of California, San Diego "Human experiences expressed by an enlightened mind and soul in a manner so that everyone may relate - Feel the flow." - Pablo Montiel, BS "Emotionally moving, blatantly honest, inspiring truth . . .

Book excerpt: My name is Constance L. Aguero. The name of this book is, The Wounded Child, The girl the world forgot! this book consists of poetry that I have been writing since I was about eight years old. These poems express the feelings that this young survivor experienced at the hands of sexual, physical and emotional abuse. These poems talk about the abuse of my father, my uncle Walter, my uncle Raymond, my mother and her previous boyfriends, and my father's tricks that he brought home from the bar. I'm hoping that with me expressing my abuse through my poetry, that I can give a young or old person a chance at some hope. I decided that it was time for the world to know exactly what kind of people my abusers really were. I also figured this was my chance to tell my story, my way, without fearing what my abusers might think. This is my time to stand up and feel proud of the young woman I taught myself to be. My goals for writing this book are to let children know that it is not ok to be abused, that they should tell someone if they are. Also I want a chance to feel proud that I finally finished something that I set out to do. I believe that if people take time to trust their gut instincts that they will be able to find the appropriate treatment for their issues. If they do this, they will feel a huge change in how they feel about themselves.

Book excerpt: At the Back Door is the second book of poetry by Thom Cherney written to raise awareness and much-needed financial support for Providence House to fight the ever-growing problem of domestic violence and child maltreatment in New Jersey. Providence House stands as the bulwark against the ever-rising tide of domestic violence and child abuse in Ocean County. This manuscript includes poetry by Thom and an excerpt from "Lost in the Middle of Nowhere," an upcoming novel dealing with the ever-increasing problem of child abuse and maltreatment in our country. Family violence and child maltreatment have grown to epidemic proportions over the past ten years mainly because of a system that is underfunded, understaffed, and overwhelmed. This past year alone an estimated 772,000 children were determined to be victims of abuse and neglect with an estimated 1,740 fatalities. Also in At the Back Door are poems written by Matthew DeRiggi, an English teacher in the Toms River school system. Matthew also had several of his writings published in the literary magazine Polaris. Three students from the Toms River schools, Raquel Carerro-Schmidt, Conor Odell, and Justin Schaff, have also made contributions. Raquel Carerro-Schmidt is a sixth-grade student at Intermediate North; Conor Odell and Justin Schaff are fifth-grade students at North Dover Elementary School. Raquel, Conor, and Justin all share the joy of writing and were members of the Poets' Club at North Dover Elementary. We wish joy, peace, and happiness to all.

Download or read book The Child In The Mirror written by Orley Powell and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-09-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The child in the mirror is a compilation of poems encompassing the struggles of a troubled childhood - a childhood of abuse, a childhood of neglect and a childhood bordering on suicidal intent. These poems were created to build an awareness of atrocities toward children, while also giving a voice to the voiceless. They also encapsulate the reality of love and loss at a tender age, which has a serious impact on children in their formative years. These poems also expose the horrific realities of a broken home, which lead to stressful mental and physical traumas. They also bring into focus what is in the mind of a child, but with the introspection of a middle aged adult. Interestingly, it would appear that it is at this mature stage in life, that adults tend to muster the courage to open up about painful events in their past. The aim is that even one person will benefit from reading this book and realize that there is hope, despite adversity. If some child, young adult or even mature person, can relate to an experience expressed in one or more of these poems, may it bring comfort to that person to know that someone has shared their experience and has now overcome to tell the tale. It is my story. It is your story. It is the story of a child who is now an adult, looking back in time through the eyes of 'the child in the mirror'.

Download or read book Ibby s Feelings written by Baaqia Uqdah and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2011-10 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ibby's Feelings is a book to be read along with young children. It is the story of a fouryear-old child who is witnessing domestic violence in her home. Ibby's Feelings demonstrates that children who witness or experience domestic violence may have some of the same normalcies as children who do not. They may do fun things with their parents, enjoy time spent with other family members, and have their favorite pastimes. The difference is, the lives of children who witness or experience domestic violence are plagued with anticipation of the violence that could occur at any given moment, without warning. Ibby's Feelings is a roadway to freedom from the rage, the silent shame, the fear, and the pain caused by domestic violence. Ibby's Feelings assists adults in understanding the impact of domestic violence on young children. Ibby's Feelings sends a simple yet pertinent message to adults and that message is PLEASE HELP The stress of witnessing and/or experiencing domestic violence impacts upon the lives of young children in ways that are oftentimes overlooked by adults. For example, the child may seem timid, be aggressive, be asthmatic, or appear to have attention deficit disorder. Ibby's Feelings is a storybook to be read "with" children who are or may have been exposed to domestic violence. The book can assist adults who work with children in opening a doorway that allows child victims to label and discuss their feelings and their experiences. Statistics have shown that a man who batters his wife or significant other, could more than likely abuse the children who live in that household. Even children who are not experiencing the violence themselves can suffer in some way because they have witnessed it. Ibby's Feelings is a cry for help from the young child who is witnessing and/or experiencing domestic violence, and the wounded child who lives within adults who witnessed or experienced domestic violence as children. Baaqia J. Uqdah (pronounced Bak-ia J. Uk-da) For more than thirty-five years Ms. Uqdah enjoyed caring for infants and toddlers, and teaching preschool children. She combined the skills and knowledge obtained through her work, her credentials in the early childhood profession, and her BA in English to create a literacy rich classroom learning environment for the children she taught and cared for. She later became a childcare center director and progressed to teacher trainer. Ms. Uqdah witnessed domestic violence as a young child, and survived domestic violence as an adult. Upon retiring as an early childhood educator, Ms. Uqdah embarked upon a career as a domestic violence victims advocate. Today she is a candidate for the Domestic Violence Specialist Certification in the State of New Jersey. Her combined passions for early learning and child welfare inspire her primary focus in the field of domestic violence, i.e., its impact it on the very young child. As an early childhood professional Ms. Uqdah worked with children and families in crisis. Often times the crisis was directly related to domestic violence. Ms. Uqdah would encourage her students to express their feelings through language arts. Additionally, she realized that so often adults learn valuable lessons and gain pertinent information through literature that is intended for children. Thus Ibby was created to assist adults in seeing domestic violence through the eyes of a young child, to help child victims label and voice their feelings, and assist child victims in releasing the fear and sadness they hold within.
Download or read book Poems by A Mother written by Anne McCulloch and published by Author House. This book was released on 2005-11-30 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In searching for support for her children and herself, the author talked to child sexual abuse professionals and many "other mothers" whose children had been abused. She found that her family's experiences were shared by many other families and that they all felt isolated and alone. They shared many dilemmas and questions. They shared the feelings of shock, horror, fear, guilt, grief and panic. They shared the difficulties of how to tell friends and family and often the trauma of going to court. They shared the frustration at other perception of sexual abuse and the ways that offenders often "excuse" their behavior. These poems were therapeutic for the author and written to explain her own feelings and dilemmas but also to support other mothers and their children. They hope to raise public and professional awareness of the scale of child sexual abuse, to show how difficult it may be for children to disclose and the damage that is caused to the children, adult survivors and the people who care for them.
