Like, saying yes when you can.

Sometimes, connection means flexibility. Saying โ€œyesโ€ to small things, like a late-night snack or a spontaneous outing, shows her that you value time together.

Only about 1 in 3 cases of child abuse are ever identified and reported to authorities.

Why donโ€™t children report?
๐Ÿ”น Afraid no one will believe them
๐Ÿ”น Feel ashamed, guilty, or confused
๐Ÿ”น Threatened or scared by the abuser
๐Ÿ”น Care about or trust the abuser
๐Ÿ”น Donโ€™t realize it was abuse

๐Ÿ’ก Most children do not tell and when they do, they often tell someone they trust before ever telling a professional. ๐“๐ก๐š๐ญโ€™๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ก๐ฒ ๐ข๐ญโ€™๐ฌ ๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐š๐ฅ ๐ญ๐จ ๐›๐ž๐ฅ๐ข๐ž๐ฏ๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ฆ, ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐ž๐ง ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐๐ ๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐ญ, ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ค๐ง๐จ๐ฐ ๐ก๐จ๐ฐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฆ๐š๐ค๐ž ๐š ๐ซ๐ž๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ!
