1. Tell yourself that you are having a flashback.
2. Remind yourself that the worst is over. The feelings and sensations you are experiencing are memories of the past. The actual event took place in the past and you survived. Now it is time to let out that terror, rage, hurt, and/or panic.

Children who constantly talk back to their parents haven’t been taught about respect. But true respect doesn’t come through…

Public Relations Chair: That would be great haha, but it is not a superhero--
Co-President #1: Pacman is too! He's super good at eating things!

We need to understand what we're fighting. →
Great article by KidsHealth detailing different kinds of child abuse, common warning signs, and how you can help a child. Spread this so as many people as possible can be educated. No child deserves abuse, and every child deserves a hero. You can be that hero. #FightChildAbuse
