How An Abusive Father Ruined His Son’s Life. And What His Daughter Did About It.

Quinten 7 years old

October 19, 2013

This is a heartbreaking story that shows the love of siblings for each other in spite of having the same abusive father. Their journey, what happened along the way, and the outcome are all unforgettable. This is worth the entire read.

This is the story in her words.

Nine years ago, I met my biological father, and I found out that I had two little brothers. Three days after meeting them, our father asked if they could come live with me, while he worked overseas. This was our first night together. They were 6 and 7 years old at the time. I was 19. Because of the fact that I only met them 3 days before, I became responsible for them- the love I have for them is less like a sister, and more like a parent.

Teaching Children Social Skills

There are certain kids that lack proper social skills due to certain learning disabilities. This can cause them to become frustrated very easily and act out. Special education teachers often have a difficult time communicating with them and teaching them new skills because of this. Children who lack these skills often have a difficult time making and keeping friends, following specific instructions, expressing their feelings through words, and controlling their anger. By teaching children social skills early on, these children can learn how to properly communicate with others.

How parents love

 By Jenny Voelker

My mom is turning 80 this year. And 40, years after she raised four children of her own, she is rethinking how to be a good parent.

“Most important thing is to love him,” she says. The “him” being my son, her youngest grandson. “Hug him a lot. Tell him he’s great. Never, ever compare him to his younger sister. Encourage him all the time.”

“But mom,” I say, hesitating slightly and then deciding to press on. “You’re telling me to do the opposite of what you did with me.”

“True,” she admits softly. I am surprised. Rarely if ever has mom admitted any kind of fault or change of heart. “But in thinking about it more, that is how you love a child.”

The Child Behavior Difficulties You Have to Know About

There are various types of child behavior issues that you may need to know about. These might cause a household plenty of difficulties unless they're addressed and understood by all family members. 

You'll first want to know the reasons why your child seems to have behaviour problems and what exactly the reasons for those issues are. 

This will help you have the ability to better determine how you can get these behaviour problems under control. You should also realise that you are not the only person going through this; many fathers and mothers have small children that have behaviour difficulties as well.
