Becoming a parent is probably one of the most joyful and memorable events in the life of every being. Seeing the newborn uttering her first cry and gripping to your finger with her tiny hand, you already see her growing, walking and her entire future in your mind and heart.

However, the sweet emotions felt at birth now give way to countless sleepless nights as the baby can’t seem to stop crying and you feel helpless, not understanding why she can’t stop crying… but soon enough, the baby grows to a toddler, then a young child, then a teenager…. her character starts developing, so are her mood swings and emotions.

That’s when parents start facing new challenges… Frustration gives rise to anger, tension gives rise to conflicts… voices start to raise and verbal abuse become rampant and often spill to physical abuse…

Here’s the ugly truth about violence against children, revealed by the World Health Organization…

Over 1 billion children have experienced a form of violence or neglect in the past year alone!

The impact over the lives of these children can be disastrous. Here’s what the World Health Organization reports about it:

These facts are just staggering!

What does this reveal? Parents and adults may not have received the right training when it comes to raising children. They probably never experienced parental love either…

Added to this emotional deficiency, pressures of the modern world, frustration and anger have eroded the fundamental values required for ideal parenting.

Adults generally feel helpless, being overwhelmed by work and life pressures, they just can’t seem to get it to work when it comes to their responsibility to successfully raise their children.

BUT THE PROBLEM DOESN’T STOP HERE- See the headline from the BBC:

There now seems to be a growing trend of child to parent abuse and violence… A form of revolution from the bottom.

If you find this shocking already, just wait to read the figures published by the BBC below:

These figures are just staggering and these are only in the UK… Now just imagine how disastrous this can get on a global scale?
