After a couple years of dealing with your child’s sexual abuse, you may start to wonder why there aren’t more training programs or products for people in our situation. I still don’t know the answer to that one. At any rate, I’ve included a link to the Total Transformation system which is marketed towards parents of defiant children. This may not be your situation now or in the future, but this is one of the few things I have found that teaches you skills that help you deal with a sexually abused child as well. I don’t know that there are any sexual abuse references per se, but I found it useful.

For those of you from the FTC that are viewing this, the link does pay a commission if you buy the product, but I bought the product a couple years ago and definitely would recommend it. Two key points resonated with me:
- Whether you have been physically abused, molested, have ADD, a learning disability, etc. you still have to learn how to live in the world. These might be challenges, but they can’t be allowed to become excuses.
- Most negative child behavior is about problem solving skills – or a lack there of. Parents dealing with child sexual abuse are generally without a manual, or experience dealing with issue. The kids also suffer because they are dealing with a problem they don’t know how to solve.
Becoming educated about abuse, and becoming an advocate for your child, are going to be the two biggest things that a parent can do to help them get through their abuse. The Total Transformation system is definitely one product worth taking a look at.
