A man I once treated was neglected in foster homes from birth to age 2, when the real trouble began. His adoptive father hated him. He was yelled at, beaten, thrown out to agencies, brought back, cursed, ignored, insulted, and belittled until he was farmed out permanently to a boy’s home in his early teens.

His adoptive mother, living in terror that her husband might kill both of them, kept her mouth shut and even remained living with the man long after the boy had grown up.

To this day, the young man has told no-one but his therapist that when he was four he would wake up from nightmares about something hard and slimy under his blanket. When he awoke and felt the mattress, he wondered where the substance came from and what it was.

All of his life, he was tormented by his uncertain sexual identity. Even as this book was being written, he wondered whether he was bi-sexual or homosexual. But there is one thing he knows for sure: He has full-blown AIDS, and in his mind, it’s all his fault.

Love of money has been called the root of all kinds of evil. But child abuse is a root that runs deeper, spreads farther, and holds a specific, predictable consequence: the loss of personhood and often of life itself.

This author, when presenting a continuing education class on domestic violence for a medical center in Jacksonville, Florida, began his remarks with this statement: “Domestic violence begins at four.”

Abuse at the hands of a partner in early adulthood does not arise out of a vacuum merely by the poor choice of a mate, whether you are a man or a woman. Rather, maltreatment from this stage on is the natural outcome of a type of brainwashing that begins early and receives reinforcement many times over through the years.

It is during the early years that humans acquire their first ideas about who they are, and, unfortunately, they believe these falsehoods for the rest of their lives. Victims are initiated into a pattern of abuse, including self abuse, not in adulthood, but in childhood.

As a matter of fact, every one of us comes into adulthood with a second-hand opinion of who we are. When a little child is called brilliant, stupid, beautiful, ugly, hopeless, helpless, good, bad, a blessing or a curse, the child has no choice but to accept these assertions as “gospel.” What other source of information does he have? He can absorb only the information which is available to him.

These messages are communicated just as well or better by what is unsaid. The glances, the pauses, the scowls, the smiles, the visual forces, speak indelibly though without sound. The impressions the child receives that define who he is are permanent. They are like initials carved in the bark of a young tree that only enlarge as the tree grows.

Transaction Analysis (TA) is a well known concept in psychology.

TA – in its simplest form, explains that every individual possesses three EGO STATES.

A Parent Ego State (PARENT), an Adult Ego State (ADULT) and a Child Ego State (CHILD).

All human beings are a curious mixture of these three ego states

We have A PARENT in us. An ADULT in us. And a child as well.

It may sound a bit out-blandish; but we want to present this hypothesis

That the society has only one ego state The PARENT who normally wants to kill originality, freedom and creativity.

It only condones ‘normative’ free-flow!!!

And ADULT is hiding somewhere in the ‘normative’ jungle

But the secret of remaining eternally happy is to make ones CHILD happy make it OK!

So let us always keep our “child” happy and intact bravo!

Even if you Ni e only ever taken care of your own children or younger siblings, you undoubtedly realize that taking care of young children requires an enormous amount of effort.  Of course, when you have a roomful of these children, the work is magnified beyond belief.  So perhaps it should come as no surprise that many pre-school and daycare facilities hire many nursery assistants to help their daily operations run more smoothly.

Job Description

When you work as a nursery assistant, you’ll be involved in many different aspects of child care.  If the facility you work for accepts infants and toddlers, you may be responsible for changing diapers, as well as bathing and feeding.   If you’re working with older children, you may need to be on hand to help them walk, as well as try to engage them in productive playtime activities.  You may be responsible for administering snack time, caring for sick children or handling the administrative tasks involved in running a day care facility.

Educational Requirements

As with many other pre-school jobs, you’ll need at least a high school diploma to find work in the field.  Typically, once you start working, you’ll also want to pursue additional education that will enable you to apply for other positions.  For example, if you decide to attend college, you may take classes on child psychology, early childhood development, and teaching methods.  For the most part, you’ll need to earn additional certifications in order to command higher wages and earn promotions at your facility.

Personal Background

Today, many parents are skeptical about entrusting their children to strangers.  In a similar way, the last thing a daycare center wants to do is unknowingly employ a pedophile.  Therefore, before you’re hired as a nursery assistant, your employer will conduct a thorough background check to ensure that you have no previous criminal convictions.  You may also have to submit to random drug testing while you’re employed as a nursery assistant, in order to ensure the safety of the children you work with.

Career Opportunities

Many recent high school grads use nursery assistant positions as a springboard for learning more about early childhood education and the many different child care occupations available.  You may find that you’re interested in becoming a special education teacher, or a teacher’s aide.  Depending on your aptitudes, you may also consider becoming a classroom teacher.  Consequently, you may need to leave the field temporarily in order to pursue a full-time education.

On the other hand, if you choose to remain in the field, you may eventually be promoted to manager or supervisor of your nursery facility.  You may also decide to branch out and open your own daycare center.  Depending on where you live, you may need to obtain a state license, as well as take exams to prove you are capable of running this type of facility.  While starting this type of business may take a great deal of work, you’re bound to enjoy the freedom and financial rewards that come with owning your own facility.

The casting call is your chance to land your next job, and child casting calls are no different when it comes down to it. There are a few things that you should always bear in mind to ensure that you and your child can secure the position. Firstly, there is no need to worry. Just take a look at some of these helpful tips that will help you make the best first impression possible – helping you to land that dream job!

When you arrive for the casting process make sure that you give off an air of confidence. Whilst you may be nervous inside, it is possible to display an outer image of confidence and professionalism which will really impress the agents. Make sure you are polite and friendly to everyone you meet and that you are willing to go the extra mile to impress them. This will benefit your child immensely.

When you go in for the call, tell your child not to worry. Tell them to try and stand up straight and not to fiddle with their hands too much. Of course, the agents will be much more forgiving when it comes to children so there is no need to worry too much about this. Though anything that will help your child will always be a bonus.

Before arriving to your call make sure you pick out a suitable outfit for your child. This might depend on the specific job, but in general you want to be at your best which means picking out types of clothes that suit your figure and are tasteful and appropriate. When it comes to child casting calls it is best not to go too heavily on the makeup if your child is a girl. Just make sure they are well dressed and looking smart!

When you arrive at the call with your child it is important you look out for them by making sure that the whole operation is legitimate. If there is something making you feel uneasy then it is perfectly acceptable to leave. You should also be wary of anyone who asks you for money. Just bear these factors in mind and everything should run smoothly.

Finally, if your child does get rejected then it is important to let them know that this is not the end of the world. There may be other options in the future, but for now your child still has the time to simply focus on being a child. Do not be bitter for the rejection yourself, simply thank the organizers for the opportunity and stay positive for your child.

Child casting calls can be intimidating both for children and parents who have never attempted them before, but in general those who stay calm and polite whilst keeping their head up high will always gain from the experience even if they do not ultimately get the job. You can always respond to other calls down the line, but for now just give it your best effort!
