It is the first day of April and it is the beginning of Child Abuse Prevention Month. On the first day of April and anytime throughout this month, you can bring awareness by wearing blue. Also, you can add a blue pinwheel in your garden in memory of all the children that have been abused physically and emotionally. You can also add a blue light bulb on your porch or entrance of your home. Last, you can add something blue to your home.
If your child's school offers a free workshop or a free webinar for Child Abuse Prevention, do not hesitate to take the class. In the class, you will learn about the warning signs of a child that has been abused. In addition, you will receive resources and tips to prevent child abuse. No child should go through the emotional and physical pain of abuse from anyone. Therefore, being aware, alert, and having an open mind will help prevent a child from being abused.
Often a child is abused by someone they know. Sometimes the child will have a strong attachment to the person who is abusing them. Consequently, a child might change their eating habits, wet their bed, and have bad hygiene issues. In extreme cases, a child might want to take their own life. A child will no longer socialize with people in their age group.
Moreover, child abuse has increased since the pandemic. You can read more about Child Abuse Prevention at Prevent Child Abuse Organization. You can also donate money and participate in a virtual pinwheel garden. Do not forget to wear your blue shirt. Here are more resources for Child Abuse Prevention Month.
