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.
