Recognizing Child Abuse: What Parents Should Know
Prevent Child Abuse America 500 North Michigan Avenue Suite 200 Chicago, IL 60611.3703 312.663.3520 tel 312.939.8962 fax www.preventchildabuse.org Recognizing Child Abuse: What Parents Should Know The first step in helping abused children is learning to recognize the symptoms of child abuse. Although child abuse is divided into four types -- physical abuse, neglect, sexual abuse, and emotional maltreatment -- the types are more typically found in combination than alone. A physically abused child for example is often emotionally maltreated as well, and a sexually abused child may be also neglected. Any child at any age may experience any of the types of child abuse. Children over age five are more likely to be physically abused and to suffer moderate injury than are children under age five. 1. Recognizing Child Abuse 2. Signs of Physical Abuse 3. Signs of Neglect 4. Signs of Sexual Abuse 5. Signs of Emotional Maltreatment RECOGNIZING CHILD ABUSE Experienced educators likely have seen all forms of child abuse at one time or another. They are alert to signs like these that may signal the presence of child abuse. The Child: • Shows sudden changes in behavior or school performance; • Has not received help for physical or medical problems brought to the parents' attention; • Has learning problems that cannot be attributed to specific physical or psychological causes; • Is always watchful, as though preparing for something bad to happen; • Lacks adult supervision; • Is overly compliant, an overachiever, or too responsible; or • Comes to school early, stays late, and does not want to go home.

Baby Talk: Resources To Support The People Who Work With Infants and Toddlers Issue No. 79 December 2017 Essentials for Parenting Toddlers and Preschoolers This online resource from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) provides information to help family members and caregivers interact positively with children. It provides proven answers to common challenges so moms, dads, and caregivers can help two- to four-year-olds grow up happy and healthy. Read free articles, watch videos, and practice exercises for building positive relationships with kids. https://www.cdc.gov/parents/essentials/index.html?utm_source=PAEEN+November+2017&utm_campaign=Build&utm_medium=email Bilingual Babies Listen to Language A recent research study from Princeton University (August 7, 2017) found that bilingual infants can process dual languages quickly and correctly as early as 20 months of age just by listening. The study also revealed that infants can quickly detect when the language is switched in mid-sentence, called "code switches", as regularly experienced in bilingual communities; and "toddlers naturally activate the vocabulary of the language that is being used in any particular setting." https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170807155145.htm 10 Routines That Can Strengthen an Adult-Child Relationship Researchers remind us that we need five positive interactions to each negative interaction to keep a relationship healthy.

Child Abuse and Neglect: How to Spot the Signs and Make a Difference
HELPGUIDE.ORG Trusted guide to mental, emotional & social health Child Abuse and Neglect How to Spot the Signs and Make a Difference Child abuse is more than bruises and broken bones. While physical abuse might be the most visible, other types of abuse, such as emotional abuse and neglect, also leave deep, lasting scars on kids. The earlier abused children get help, the greater chance they have to heal and break the cycle—rather than perpetuate it. By learning about common signs of abuse and what you can do to intervene, you can make a huge difference in a child’s life. What is child abuse and neglect? Child abuse isn’t just about black eyes. While physical abuse is shocking due to the marks it leaves, not all child abuse is as obvious. Ignoring children’s needs, putting them in unsupervised, dangerous situations, exposing them to sexual situations, or making them feel worthless or stupid are also forms of child abuse and neglect. Regardless of the type of abuse, the result is serious emotional harm. But there is help available. If you suspect a child is being abused or neglected, it’s important to speak out. By catching the problem as early as possible, both the child and the abuser can get the help they need. To start, it’s important to separate the myths from the facts about child abuse and neglect: Myths and facts about child abuse and neglect Myth: It's only abuse if it's violent. Fact: Physical abuse is just one type of child abuse.

Baby-Talk” Words Support Language Development
How “Baby-talk” Words Support Language Development By Julie Erdmann Speech-Language Pathologist & Clinical Program Assistant, The Hanen Centre If you were to walk past a parent talking to her baby, you might hear any of the following phrases: “Uh oh!” “Pop!” “Where’s your belly?” “Woof-woof says the dog!” “Night-night, baby!” As Hanen certified SLPs, we know that modeling playful words is a natural part of interaction-building activities. In It Takes Two to Talk®, we teach caregivers to use this type of vocabulary when they join in and play in order to follow their child’s lead and let the interaction grow. “Fun sounds and words are easy to remember and understand because they’re said with lots of animation and often have gestures that go with them” (Weitzman, 2017, p. 37) These words are a familiar part of parentese, or infant directed speech. Infant directed speech (IDS) consists of language that is, as its name suggests, directed specifically to the child and not conversation that he may simply overhear. IDS has been studied since the 1960s (Ferguson, 1964) and the research on this topic has continued. Studies have shown that “[i]nfant directed speech…systematically differs from adult directed speech” (Ota, Davies-Jenkins, Skarabella, 2018). Some studies have focused on the quantitative variation between IDS and adult-directed speech (ADS), showing that all the elements are the same but vary by degree. Infant directed speech (IDS) generally has slower speech rates, higher pitch ranges, and longer pauses than speech directed at adults. Sentences are shorter than those in adult directed speech (ADS) and contain more concrete and less diverse vocabulary – the same set of words tend to be used more often (Cristia, 2013; Phillips, 1973; Saint-Georges, Chetouani, Cassel, Apicella, Mahdhauoi, Muratori, Laznik, & Cohen, 2013; Thiessen, Hill, & Saffran, 2005; Trainor, L.

When Sexual Intercourse* with a Minor Must Be Reported As Child Abuse by Mandated Reporters: California Law
When Sexual Intercourse* with a Minor Must Be Reported as Child Abuse by Mandated Reporters: California Law The California Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act requires certain professionals (“mandated reporters”), like teachers and health care providers, to report to child protection or law enforcement when they know or reasonably suspect child abuse. Sexual intercourse with a minor (a person younger than age 18) is reportable as child abuse in three circumstances: 1. WHEN COERCED OR IN ANY OTHER WAY NOT VOLUNTARY Mandated reporters must report if they have a reasonable suspicion that intercourse with a minor was coerced or in any other way not voluntary. As one example, sexual activity is not voluntary when the victim is unconscious or so intoxicated that he or she cannot resist. See Penal Code sections 261 and 11165.1 for more examples. 2. WHEN IT INVOLVES SEXUAL EXPLOITATION OR TRAFFICKING Mandated reporters must report if they have a reasonable suspicion that a minor has been sexually trafficked or is being sexually exploited. See www.teenhealthlaw.org for more information on this requirement. 3. BASED ON AGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PARTNER AND MINOR IN A FEW SITUATIONS Mandated reporters also must report intercourse with a minor in a few situations based solely on the age difference between the minor and their partner, according to the following chart: KEY: M = Mandated. A report is mandated based solely on age difference between partner and minor. J = Use judgment. A report is not mandated based solely on age difference; however, a reporter must report if he or she has a reasonable suspicion that the intercourse was coerced, involved trafficking or exploitation, or was in any other way not voluntary, as described above, irrespective of age.

Baby Talk: Resources to Support the People Who Work with Infants and Toddlers
Baby Talk: Resources to support the people who work with infants and toddlers Issue No. 12 May 2012 Baby Matters: A Gateway to State Policies and Initiatives Baby Matters is ZERO TO THREE’s searchable database of resource information on state policies and initiatives that impact infants, toddlers and their families. The policies and initiatives are searchable by category, state, or keyword. A detailed description of each policy or initiative is provided, as well as links to additional related resources. http://policy.db.zerotothree.org/policyp/home.aspx Early Play = Academic Achievement A new study shows that when parents engage toddlers in cognitively stimulating play such as pretend play, it can have long-lasting effects on their children's academic success. The 15-year longitudinal study's results (http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/19424620.2011.640559), published in Family Science, found that such parental interaction when children were as young as 2 years old (as observed with 229 children in the Early Head Start Research and Evaluation Project) predicted fifth grade math and reading achievement. This builds on years of research, as compiled in this article (http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/beautiful-minds/201203/the-need-pretend-play-in-child- development) at Psychology Today, showing that imaginative play is a critical part of healthy child development, particularly for cognitive and social development. Got a Fussy Baby? Partners in Care: Supporting Fussy Babies in Child Care is a booklet that was developed by the Fussy Baby Network to support infant child care teachers, infant program directors, and other professionals in supporting families and their fussy babies, who may also have difficulties with feeding, sleeping, and other daily routines.
