Mothers in physically or emotionally abusive relationships ask themselves these questions every day. Whether it’s physical or “just” emotional abuse, whether it’s aimed at them or you, whether they see or hear it, your kids need you. This book, the first ever of its kind, shows mothers how to: • Protect children and help them heal emotionally • Provide love, support, and positive role models, even in the midst of abuse • Increase their chances of winning custody • Help their kids feel good about themselves “A must-read for every mother who has been abused...it offers the knowledge women need to protect their children and help them heal.”—William S. Pollack, Ph.D., author of the national bestseller Real Boys

Download or read book Finding Comfort After the Storm written by Lindsay Krebs, MS Ed/CAS and published by . This book was released on 2020-01-16 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If your child has endured some form of trauma (sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse, etc.) it is very common for parents and caregivers to go through an emotional turmoil following such events. You may feel guilt, anger, sadness, anxiety, and the list goes on. What is extremely important to understand, is that unless you were the actual perpetrator of this abuse, it is NOT your fault. As parents and caregivers, you do all you can to love and protect your children from harm. Unfortunately, you cannot be everywhere at all times and, sadly, sometimes bad things do happen that are not within your control. Following a trauma your child has experienced, it is vital to obtain support for them, such a therapy, to help your child work through what they have endured. However, you too, as their parent or caregiver have also gone through this trauma with them. If you do not work on your own emotions and fall apart, you will be of little help to your child in their recovery. Therefore, it is of the utmost importance to take care of YOU as well! Please work hard to get your feelings out, in one way or another, as this is extremely important as you begin to heal from the trauma which has touched your family. Journaling is a very good place to begin to express your emotions. My sincere hope is that this journal will help to guide you through your healing process and to get your feelings out, whatever they may be. You have every right to feel the way that you do, so please go ahead and use this journal as an outlet to get angry if you need to and to vent all of your feelings onto these pages. Leave no drop of emotion unwritten, simply GET IT OUT! However, if you feel that journaling is not helping you with all of the emotions you are feeling, perhaps you may want to consider obtaining therapy for yourself as well. There is NO shame in doing so. Remember, your child needs support following trauma, but so do his or her parents and caregivers. You make the decisions regarding your path to healing; the important part is not to forget yourself throughout this process. The road a family walks, following a trauma, is far from easy. Trauma has been known to both bring families together, as well as to pull them apart. Keeping your feelings inside, where they continue to build up until you very likely do or say something you may regret, will only increase the likelihood that your family will continue to suffer longer after the trauma. If you have a significant other who has endured this trauma with you, perhaps you may want to consider both having a copy of this journal to get your feelings out or attending therapy together. After doing so, having a daily, or at least weekly discussion about what you have written regarding your feelings could be extremely vital to your family's healing process. These discussions will most likely not be easy at first, but in doing so, they will begin open up the line of communication and help you to heal together. Best wishes to you and your family throughout your healing process. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Lindsay K. Krebs obtained her Master's Degree in Counseling from Alfred University. She has worked both as a school counselor, as well as for a non-profit agency with children who have experienced a wide variety of trauma. In doing so, Lindsay has years of experience working with both the children and their families to better communicate feelings related to the trauma and to work towards healing.
Download or read book Parenting Matters written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents' lives; generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Parenting of young children today takes place in the context of significant ongoing developments. These include: a rapidly growing body of science on early childhood, increases in funding for programs and services for families, changing demographics of the U.S. population, and greater diversity of family structure. Additionally, parenting is increasingly being shaped by technology and increased access to information about parenting. Parenting Matters identifies parenting knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with positive developmental outcomes in children ages 0-8; universal/preventive and targeted strategies used in a variety of settings that have been effective with parents of young children and that support the identified knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and barriers to and facilitators for parents' use of practices that lead to healthy child outcomes as well as their participation in effective programs and services. This report makes recommendations directed at an array of stakeholders, for promoting the wide-scale adoption of effective programs and services for parents and on areas that warrant further research to inform policy and practice. It is meant to serve as a roadmap for the future of parenting policy, research, and practice in the United States.
