All Our Children

So many of our children experience violence in their homes and communities. I've heard James Garbarino speak several times and he does have a pulse on what is happening and ideas on what we can do about it. For anyone working with youth, buy the book, read it, and then do something more to help your own community.

Danger

Children in Danger is a good book to read. It is very interesting and it talks about children who saw someone get hurt.These children are the ages of two and up. They been in the middle of accidents and around them.I really like this book because it talks about children that are in danger and it explains there problem that they have. Who they saw get hurt. I didnt like that the children were tramitized and they had to go through what happend. I feel like this book is a good book for everyone to read because it was very interesting. It caught my attention and it inspired me to keep reading the book. It made me feel good that the children were the ones who told some of the story. This is a good book.
