AustinJames Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 What is the greatest evil in your life, and what are you doing to fight it? What are the struggles involved? The greatest evil in my life is the abuse that occurs in the homes of my students. To counter it, I model healthy relationship skills with the students, and I report every instance in which I have good reason to suspect serious abuse. I also take pains to let the child know that the abuse is unacceptable, immoral, and perhaps illegal. I often recommend Stefan's Bomb in the Brain series to parents. The struggle is to estimate whether an investigation and possible displacement of the child will ultimately work to their benefit or detriment. It is also difficult to stay within the legal bounds of my profession, as I am restricted in what I can say to children and parents about child rearing. 3
