Essay 3

My third essay will be about child abuse. I thing we have several forms of child abuse that needs to be addressed as parents. As parents we don't realize what different forms of abuse does to our children. A few different types are physical abuse, verbally abuse and completely neglecting of our children. All three abuses can cause children suffering as adults. The children may never recover as adults from their traumatic childhood. I've always wondered how society views the important's of being a parent, because we don't put information out there as a guide to parents. I say that because we have manuals for everything you can think of, but is parenting not important enough to make more books that say "How to raise them into healthy adults". We need information that tell us how to handle thinks like; toddler tantrum's, breaking bad language, teenage attitude. We need more reality type situation and guidance. As a mother of three I've had my children come home from daycare with a new word that we don't say in our house and if we have more direction on what to do it would help us. I have a sophomore, and he is a an age of testing and sarcasm. We have one in middle school who is popular and stays active with the school, but we worry about popularity and it will do for him in junior high and high school. I know as a parent you have some kind of clue what to do in all of these situation but only because we are using what we know but don't know if it's the right thing to do. As first time parents we should have a book that followed our children throughout their childhood, to give us good guidance. I think that's why some people abuse their children because that's all they know from their childhood. If they got spankings they give spankings, if they got yelled at with fowl language use toward them, they do the same. This may help people that have not had children, and adults trying to break the cycles. This information can save our generation and ones to come from being abused.
