"When parents abuse their young, they have to reject their natural instinct to protect them." Yushima Cherry
A mothers first instinct is to protect her young. This is true in all of creation, with few exceptions like the ostrich that may step on her own unhatched whelp. Yet, even the forgetful ostrich has the privilege of carrying, feeding and nurturing a life. A privilege set aside for mothers only. An elephant does not forget her own, in fact a community of elephants all take responsibility for eachothers young. I've seen a lioness face rejection from her pride, for protecting a young antelope, her natural enemy. It's amazing that her maternal instinct was stronger than her desire to eat or be a part of the only family she's ever known. I've witnessed wild cats feed kittens that they didn't birth. A lot can be learned from watching mother's of different species. It's astonishing that the most intellectual species ever created has so many issues regarding child rearing. In fact, a report of child abuse is made every ten seconds. When parents abuse their young, they have to reject their natural instinct to protect them. Why does this occur? Children are abused and neglected for several reasons:
- Mental illness
- Bitterness and resentment
- Victim of abuse and/or neglect
- Stress of being a single parent
- Lack of parenting skills
- Drugs and Alcohol
- Occult practice and demonic activity
No reason justifies child abuse and neglect. The hope is that when you know better, you do better. The good news is that there is help available for parents and guardians who want it.
Below are some tips to prevent child abuse and neglect:
- When a child is screaming and all of his/her basic needs are met (food, water, clean diaper, temperture is normal and the child is not sick) place the child gently in the crib and walk out of the room. Pray, cry, scream, jump up anddown, call a friend, take a breather outside for a few minutes, do whatever needs to be done to calm down and relax.
- Know that some babies cry when they have gas, colic is believed to be caused by gas- click here for some tips on how to prevent and treat colic.
- Have a mommy's day out. Make it a point to take some personal time. Mothers, taking care of self will relieve the stress that hinders the mother child relationship from developing properly.
- Tell someone how you are feeling. Seek friendships with mother's that you admire and trust. Attend PTA meetings at your child's school, church, events, and other outings where children and parents would be together. Be proactive and outgoing.
- Seek help for any unresolved issues. For services in your area please call 211, or contact Yushima at yushima@blackpoetreeworkshops.com, (888) 513-6975 ext 4.
- Think positively, positive thoughts produce positive results. Be an optimist about every situation that occurs. Take something from every experience that comes and disregard the other mess.
