In my internship I had to read the book "A Child Called "It" " by Dave Pelzer
I had never in my life realized what some children in this world goes through intil I read this book. Dave Pelzer had to overcome the servere abuse by an alcoholic mother. After reading this book it inspired me to help children and help put a stop to child abuse.
Here is a quote from the book A Child Called "It"
"My relationship with mom drastically changed from discipline to punishment that grew out of control. It became so bad at times, I had no strength to crawl away--even if it meant saving my life." Chapter 3, Bad Boy, pg. 29
Britanie,
ReplyDeleteI couldn't put this book down and had to read the two that followed it. I wanted to know more about why his mother changed so much. This book helped me realize that I may be the only smile a child sees and I make a point to hug my students when they arrive at school and before I send them home if they will allow me to do so.

I have all series of Dave Pelzer. At first, I felt so ever heartbroken, but went through all books. Now I am a licensed foster care parent and I'm expecting to see some children coming from similar situations Dave Pelzer was in. Children do not deserve these kinds of behaviors at all...
