Cyber Store provides fundraising opportunity to collect donations.
Legal assistance is desperately needed for victims of domestic violence. Women and children who have suffered repeated exposure to psychological and emotional torture often develop a deep sense of social insecurity. The victim's integrity is often in question and victim is repeated bullied and ostracized by their neighbors and her peer groups. Eventually their behavior is viewed as a form of mental illness or retardedness.
For these reasons, in many communities, residents will mistake a victim's maladjustment to societies' norms as a sign of arrested development. The victim is perceived to be lacking family support, unaccepting of social normalcy and is generally characterized as socially dysfunction. The symptoms are exacerbated after she tries to resume her life. Victims are harassed repeatedly by exposure to the bias and stereotypes which plague communities and further harm the victims who are now the survivors of both public humiliation and the debilitating effects of post traumatic stress that results from prolonged exposure to an environment contaminated by the evils of domestic violence.
Victims in our society are eventually ostracized within their communities. Socially isolated, they seem to eventually succome to the violence. The aggressive attacks on their emotional well being and the repeated criminal acts of mental manipulation from their batterer. The scars from a long exposure to mental cruelty are often exacerbated by public accusations of mental instability. Slandarded with accusations of impaired judgment and poor decision making skills victims remain traumatized assaulted and condemned now by their society. What most people don't understand is that psychological manipulation is often the first method of assault used by abusers. Steeped in denial and with no help, counseling or accountability for their actions. Batterers show no remorse as they are left unhindered to strike again and again, making damaging offensive attacks on the very people that they claim to love and care about the most.

Personal Mastery And Your Kids
Why is it important to teach personal mastery to your children?
Our children nowadays are the next generation. They would be facing a future that could hold immense possibilities and opportunities. But even with this bright future waiting for them, there is also a sad future waiting, a future where uncertainties and materialism can be prevalent. How can we prepare our children to face this kind of future?
It is beneficial to teach children a new set of values and attitude that would be good for the family. Helping children develop personal mastery in early age will help them have a mindset and habits that could be an instrument for their success in the future.
The recently discovered personal mastery would help an individual to develop skills and behavior that would help them deal with difficult circumstances. Personal mastery enables an individual to understand the strengths and weaknesses of other people and deal with their emotions. Aside from this, personal mastery encourages thinking outside the box and ability to take responsibility for their life.
These attitudes would be very beneficial for our kids. Personal mastery can also help children develop confidence grounded on reality, different from arrogance, live life and inspire other people and the world.
How can we start teaching our children about personal mastery?
We could start teaching our kids early, with the current environment, the chances that our kids would get affected by depression, anxiety, physical and mental health problems are also high. Attitude changes attained through personal mastery are not innate. It is important the our kids learn to keep their self-confidence and stay positive to be able to fulfill their dreams.
Start with telling your children about the facts of life like failure. You could share your own failures and disappointments. To help children deal with anger and frustration, you can start letting them know that failing is part of achieving big dreams. When you share experiences about failing something, make sure that they see the point that you continued with your dreams even if you failed once.
It is okay for your children to experience setbacks and unwanted outcomes. Personal mastery is about being grounded to reality and dealing with difficult situations. This experience would help your children understand on how to deal with their emotions. Do not try to interfere too much, provide breathing and learning space for them.
For children to be successful adults, they need to be able to face challenged independently. Children need to know that setbacks and anxiety can be normal, but they are there for them to overcome.
It would also be helpful if they would be able to identify themselves as a part of a whole. Encouraging them to participate in extracurricular activities and team activities would help them develop their methods of interacting with peers and seniors.
But if they have joined groups and extracurricular activities, do not interfere or even provide your opinion. Let them talk about it, like how they feel about being part of the team, how could they help or interact with each other. But otherwise, keep the opinions to yourself.
When teaching your children about personal mastery, do not teach them as if it is a lecture. It would be less effective if you ask them to sit down and take down notes. Introduce the concepts gradually and in different ways. You can introduce it while talking over dinner and family activities. Children would absorb them easily since they are integrated in their daily lives and it becomes natural learning.

Home Schooling vs. School At Home
Home schooling has become a viable option for many parents seeking to expand and improve their child's educational experience. The public and private school systems are limited, for practical reasons, as to how far they can go to meet a particular child's educational needs. With home schooling, on the other hand, the entire process is geared towards your child in a one-on-one manner. You can create a particular curriculum suited to your child, and teach in a way works best for him or her. It is for these reasons, not to mention the economic benefits when you consider the costs associated with private schools that many parents choose to homeschool their children.
When you decide to homeschool your children, you're going to have to come up with a plan for how the subject matter is going to be taught, and a system to execute that plan. An important distinction you should make yourself aware of is a philosophical one of "home schooling" vs. "school at home." The latter method is overly simplistic, and doesn't take advantage of the benefits that home schooling can truly offer. While every parent is justifiably concerned about creating a disciplined academic environment, if you simply "teach at home" both you and your child will be missing out.
As a teaching philosophy, it's important to think of the process as "home schooling" -- this means that "home" and "school" become one: it's not simply a case of school being conducted in a home environment. So instead of creating regimented lessons at set times - instead of your children sitting stiffly at a table while you give them lessons - be always ready to use the flexibility of home schooling to your advantage. If your child has a question about a particular subject in biology, take him outside and show him nature at work. If he's interested in a certain aspect of history, take him to the museum.
One of the greatest things about home schooling is that it doesn't have to be a regimented system: a day of learning that ends at 4 PM, Monday to Friday. When home schooling is properly implemented, your child is always learning. During a unit on Shakespeare for example, maybe you'll decide to take him to a performance of the play on the weekend. If he's interested in computers, allow him to use his computer for a research project.
Although in some ways you do need a certain regimen when home schooling, realize that your child's education doesn't have to end when you are finished for the day. Incorporating other educational activities into your daily home life will both expand your child's education and make it more engaging.
Most children learn better in settings that they are comfortable in, and what setting is more comfortable then the home? So if your child wants to hear his math lesson while sitting on the couch, let him. If he wants to watch a movie in the evening, direct him to an educational one.
By blurring, as much as possible, the line between "home" and "schooling" when home schooling your children, your children will benefit from a much more valuable educational experience than could be offered from the public or private school systems.
