How We Help Stop the Cycle of Abuse
Chicktime is a movement empowering women to stop the cycle of child abuse by going into children’s homes/shelters and loving on the kids. We believe that if a child is convinced they are loved their wounds will heal and they won’t lash out when they are adults and repeat the cycle of abuse with their own children. We do this by setting up ONCE A MONTH activities with children living in children’s homes and encouraging women in the local community to come in and teach classes based on their passions. We invite volunteers to come in and play along with the kids during the activities acting as the fun aunt or big sister… just a way of bonding with them and showing them love through time and attention. How can this possibly help stop the cycle of abuse you ask? The hope is that the volunteers will connect with the kids and find ways to come back and help out more with needs the children’s homes have. Chicktime is a gateway to start up these relationships.
