Let Me Be A Child
Let me know when I make you proud. And help me to have
pride in my own accomplishments. Let me earn your trust. Then
trust me. I won't let you down. Let me try my wings. If I fail,
let me know it's OK. And encourage me to try again. Let me
know you love me. With a hug. Or a pat on the back, or when I
need it, with a firm but gentle "no." Let me be. Let me change
Let me grow. Let me tell you when I'm feeling bad... or angry…
Even at you. And let me know that even on my worst days, you
still like me. Let me dream. Share my joy when my dreams come
true. Share my tears when they don't. Let me feel secure in my
home. Help me realize that love is always there … that I can
depend on you no matter what. Let me run … let me laugh … let
me play. And most of all, let me be a child!

• Love Our Children USA is the leading national nonprofit and „Go-To‟ prevention organization fighting all forms of violence and neglect against children in the U.S.
• Since 1999, Love Our Children USA has broken ground in preventing violence against children and eliminating behaviors that keep them from reaching their full potential. Love Our Children USA teaches effective parenting solutions and fosters kid success by creating valuable programs that empower positive changes in parenting and family attitudes, bullying and cyber bullying prevention, Internet safety and school violence prevention through public education. The goal of Love Our Children USA is keeping children safe and strengthening families.
• I love children and I love seeing them happy. I want to be a pre-school teacher or 4th grade teacher and I want to see them happy and not suffering. I wouldn’t like to hear about them going through abuse in their homes. They shouldn’t be confound, to be confused, on why they go through that and other children don’t. I hope that this abusing ends or the ones going through it to get help to stop this.
• Since 1999 more than one million copies of positive parenting and child-safety publications have been sent out in order to stop
and eliminate violence against children.
• To eliminate or prevent violence/neglect against
children in the United states is what their main goal is.
• They provide many programs in order to do this and to aggrandize awareness.
• There are many programs we offer. One of
these program is Public Education and
Community Awareness.
• This is a program that helps out the community
get informed about fighting to end violence
against children.
• There are seminars that are dichotomous, for
both parents and children.
- Community outreach
- Parenting Seminars
- Seminars for kids and teens
- During these activities we have a great disposition because we want the community to feel that they can trust us and get a good vibe from us.
• Many can participate in this program and many get help.
• The ones that come and want any kind of help they are given that help and its explicated to them what they will have to do.
• Also the ones that really want help then they are recommended classes they can go to, to help themselves.
• There are many stories in our website of families who have received help
from us.
Here is one: “A father of a 3 year old Texas girl called us because he noticed that his daughter
was afraid to go near her mother and subsequently noticed red handprints on her bottom. He
didn’t know what to do. In speaking with him we learned that his wife had been abused when
she was a child and was now continuing the cycle. After sending the wife information, we
spoke with the couple on the phone . Like most abusers she was in denial. We explained that
she was continuing the cycle which she hadn't even realized and discussed the consequences
of what could happen if she were to continue with this type of parenting. We arranged for her
to receive parenting classes in her town and for she and her husband to attend family therapy
sessions. Since she began these programs she has not only has not spanked or screamed at her
daughter, but has begun creating a loving home situation where her daughter reaches out to
her more readily.”
• The families that come to us get the help they need.
• They communicate with us and let us know how they’re doing.
“In the next minute a child will be a victim
of violence or neglect.”
• Over 3 million children are victims of violence and neglect
every year. (The ones reported)
• The number of children being hurt and that is not reported is
three times greater
• Almost five children die everyday due to violence
This foundation provides a program called Public Education and Community awareness that offer many things.
They offer:
• prevention strategies
• information and resources to parents, child caregivers, children, teens and to the general public.
• over 1600 pages of Web resources for parents and children, as well as individual assistance to those at-risk or who are in need
• Community outreach
• Parenting Seminars
• Seminars for kids and teens
Critical Action
• This is more critical action because it is taking action to fight and end abuse/neglect against children.
• To make a difference in the world by reaching out to communities and getting them informed.
• This foundation offers many programs and these programs offer many activities/lectures
• It does many things in order to help families going through to this or to prevent this by talking to them
Critical Thinking
• Critical thinking comes to play as well because it
talks to parents.
• If there are parents who are reacting violently with
their child they are the ones who are recommended to
classes to control themselves and these classes it gets
them to think before they act.
• To make better choices on how to react with their
children when they do something they shouldn’t have
Shuttleworth Foundation
“Supporting exceptional people to change the world”
Inspired by two things:
1. Looking for ones who want to change the world
2. “That if we are rigorously open about ideas and practices, more people will copy them and make the world a better place in a shorter period of time“
•We want to stop and end abuse in children, to break the cycle to end this violence against children in families who are going through this•We want to keep every family safe , every children safe, children are our world, we want a good world.o
