Learning How to Build Friendships and Personal Connections
Social skills deficits can interfere with kids’ ability to make friends and feel accepted. Learn how to help support development in this critical area.
Many kids are able to pick up social skills and their nuances easily through everyday interactions. But other kids, especially those struggling with developmental disorders such as Asperger’s Syndrome and other forms of autism, must be taught these skills directly and individually, and the skills must be practiced and reinforced many times over. Even then, using these skills may feel stilted and unnatural to these children. Read the rest of this entry »

War Orphan
Following the defeat of WWII, while many Japanese racially mixed babies were abondoned by their parents, Miki Sawada dedicated her life to take care of the orphans.
With many American military servicemen residing in Japan to help rebuild the country, unwanted pregnancies between American men and Japanese women were not unusual.

Child protection social workers
Baby Peter’s killers were sentenced a year ago. The howls of criticism can still be heard. So who would be a child protection social worker now? Answer – thousands, all over Britain. They gamely carry on facing the daily dilemma of whether or not to trust the parents in dysfunctional families. Or should they take the other risk of removing the child and hope that as the legal process grinds through, care will be available and provide more secure support for them.
It’s a difficult challenge, and one few of us might face in a lifetime. Yet the referral and assessment team in Coventry gets around 40 calls every day about children reported to be at risk.

Child Abuse
Is a child you know being abused? Know the indicators of physical and sexual abuse.
The statistics of child abuse are startling and saddening. Sometimes a child’s only defenses are the friends, family and members of his or her community. Awareness of signs of abuse is crucial to save victimized children from a life of trauma, or even death.
The CAPTA definition reads: “at a minimum, any recent act or failure to act on the part of a parent or caretaker, which results in death, serious physical or emotional harm, sexual abuse or exploitation, or an act or failure to act which presents an imminent risk of serious harm.”
