It takes precision, teamwork and tremendous fortitude to make every weekday morning happen in our homes. A child needs us. In many households, a tummy might hurt, or a child may become disruptive at home or school, or even strike out to gain attention. There have been many incidents of school violence recently resulting in injury and death. In some cases, there may have been no warning signals, no calls for attention.
Children are worth every effort.
Anything that concerns kids concerns me, and Harry E. Rosenthal's article was worthy of my individual attention. I would like to share this valuable information with you, because I believe it is worthy of your individual attention as well. Such children are more likely to engage in alcohol and drug use, delinquent acts, and later adult criminality. These children often are at risk of repeating the violence they have experienced, thus perpetuating a cycle of violence which can continue throughout future generations. We must stop this cycle of abuse now and take concrete action to prevent it from occurring in the future.
