Resiliency= Dealing with life


'A Child Called It' was a story about resilience, it was never about boo hoo hoo, it was about a kid that didn't quit.

 The book A Child Called It is often described as a true story of an abused child, and it is, but the author Dave Pelzer wants people to see it as a story of resiliency.  What a strong man he is, his story proves that resiliency can win in the end, there might be healing moments that need to take place, but a child that goes through such a hard life can survive and be more than a victim. In Mr. Pelzer own words he said, 'A Child Called It' was a story about resilience, it was never about boo hoo hoo, and it was about a kid that didn't quit.”  I encourage you to read it or reread it with the thinking that it is not about abuse but a young boy’s resiliency.  I am going to do the same I bet it will teach me something new. Throughout our life resiliency is how we deal with life situations. I want to leave you with one more quote from Dave Pelzer that is in my opinion powerful!

"To help yourself, you must be yourself. Be the best that you can be. When you make a mistake, learn from it, pick yourself up and move on."
