Lesson 10 Reflection

Abuse, like most others, is a necessary but very uncomfortable topic.

This week was very helpful, to me and many in the class in outlining and detailing some signs, do's and don't's, and how/when to report-that we are of those-legally set as a defense to "protect the children". (Oaks-also quoting Holland, https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2012/10/protect-the-children?lang=eng)

The text was very helpful, yet I find at times, difficult to get through.  It is useful information and a wonderful reference guide-which does not lend itself to being an "easy read".

My group, being much smaller, I think more are allowed the chance to speak (that and I'm making a conscious effort to make sure that I am allowing the flow within the conversation, adding comments only when it was of benefit and seemed particularly applicable (even though, we are having a time where one member, we do not know if she's feeling particularly involved.  We try to ask her opinion, but I think we need to be more proactive in this regard.  Perhaps she felt we were all a little outspoken for her.  I can look at ways to involve her and have her know that her opinion's valued in our group.
