PACA: Pagans Against Child Abuse
A place for people who oppose child abuse.
Protecting The Gift: Keeping Children and Teenagers Safe (and Parents Sane) by Gavin de Becker
MM All,
I posted a discussion a while back that used a bit of the wisdom from this book. I never did get the chance to read the book in it's entirety, until now.
One of the things I like about this book is that he encourages knowledge and information as a form of empowerment, as opposed to worry, which acts only as a distraction from the real dangers.
Please add to the discussion with any thoughts or questions you may have about the content of the book. If anyone has any discussion points they'd like to focus on, please let us know.
