She was living with a mother who uses the term "forgive and forget" to lure her child in just to beat her out. She was in an emotionally abusive game resulting with conclusions of bruises, welts, and blood. A mother was all she had plus the threat of hell and what would happen if she didn't follow the rules. She had to play her mother's game. The police would be called many times never seeing the ferocity of the abuse. They would check the home to make sure nothing was rotten and spoiled and that the child had a clean room, but what they missed was the skin of the child and could not see was the scarring developing within.

No one believed her. Throughout the games, what her mother didn't realize was that every time she beat her out, she was pushing her toward other families that had loving mothers. She would often see what a true mother looked like. These other mothers became her reason to live in the hopes for finding a true love. Through each game, you'll endure her thoughts of hope to continue and struggle to not give up, to forgive and forget, and finally get away. This story will show you the truth about physical and emotional child abuse and the scarring that leads to their futures, the strength children have to break the chains from their abusive parents so they can build themselves a brighter future.

It's Never Too Late to Sleep Train
Author: Craig Canapari, MD
Publisher: Rodale Books
ISBN: 1635652723
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
From a leading pediatric sleep physician comes a revolutionary program that will have everyone in the house sleeping through the night. When Dr. Craig Canapari became a father, he realized that all his years of 36-hour hospital shifts didn't even come close to preparing him for the sleep deprivation that comes with parenthood. The difference is that parents don’t get a break—it’s hard to know if there’s a night of uninterrupted sleep anywhere in the foreseeable future. Sleepless nights for kids mean sleepless nights for the rest of the family—and a grumpy group around the breakfast table in the morning. In It's Never Too Late to Sleep Train, Canapari helps parents harness the power of habit to chart a clear path to high-quality sleep for their children. The result is a streamlined two-step sleep training plan that focuses on cues and consequences, the two elements that shape all habits and that take on special importance when it comes to kids’ bedtime routines. Dr. Canapari distills years of clinical research and experience to make sleep training simple and stress-free. Even if you’ve been told that you’ve missed the optimal "window" for sleep training, Dr. Canapari is here to prove that it's never too late, whether your child is 6 months or 6 years old. He's on your side in the battle against bedtime, and with his advice, parents and children alike can expect a lifetime of healthy sleep.
