Every day children are harmed by physical or emotional abuse or neglect. But with this essential guide by Patricia Rushford, readers can help stop the damaging cycle of abuse by learning how to protect children and provide hope and healing for those already hurt. Previously published by Revell as The Jack and Jill Syndrome, this book guides parents, caregivers, youth pastors, and teachers who want to help children get through the pain and become whole. It provides guidelines for reporting child abuse, becoming a nurturing parent, building relationships with abused children, and giving them the encouragement, attention, education, and love that they need to grow into healthy, well-adjusted adults.
