Children need to know that they are special, loved, and capable of following their dreams.<\/li><li>Help a friend, neighbor, or relative. Being a parent isn\u2019t easy. Offer a helping hand to take care of the children or offer emotional support with non-judgmental listening.<\/li><li>Help yourself. When the big and little problems of your everyday life pile up to the point you feel overwhelmed and out of control\u2014take time out. Don\u2019t take it out on your kid.<\/li><li>If your baby cries\u2026 It can be frustrating to hear your baby cry. Learn what to do if your baby won\u2019t stop crying. Never shake a baby\u2014shaking a child may result in severe injury or death.<\/li><li>Discipline your children thoughtfully. Never discipline your child when you are upset. Discipline is a way to teach your child. Use privileges to encourage good behavior and time-outs to help your child regain control<\/li><\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month.
