Chicago Tribune

n support of awareness of National Child Abuse Prevention month, retired Illinois Circuit Court of Cook County judge and practicing family law attorney, Michael Ian Bender, offers a four-step educational guide to parents and guardians who want to raise children in a functional and happy home where abuse does not exist.

"In spite of the national spotlight on topics such as domestic violence and abuse at home, more work needs to be done to make childhood abuse a non-existent issue," says Bender. "The reality is that politicians and the media can discuss the problem ad nauseam, but the real progress is made when individuals-especially young parents-proactively seek guidance for how to raise children in a mutually loving and respectful manner. A happy family life means children have a greater chance of growing to their highest potential as emotionally well-adjusted human beings."
