I found that the journal helped me to learn the most as it forced me to think for myself #5700reflect

[Jonathon Godwin @JonGodwin015]

And I suppose one way to find that answer would be to get out there and start trying to affect change #5700reflect

[Jonathon Godwin @JonGodwin015]

One question I have is how to speed up the process of changing government policy #5700reflect

[Jonathon Godwin @JonGodwin015]

Entering the world without stable, supportive parents and no continuity is no way to become happy and healthy #5700reflect

[Jonathon Godwin @JonGodwin015]

I feel that one of the biggest takeaways is that those children who are difficult to work with often have difficult lives #5700reflect

[Jonathon Godwin @JonGodwin015]

@almayck123 Agreed! It seemed to end on a hopeful note #5700fut

[Jonathon Godwin @JonGodwin015]

@OliviaSWK Yes! It's hard though when most programs are understaffed and underfunded. #5700fut

[Jonathon Godwin @JonGodwin015]

A common phrase I've heard is "children are meant to be seen, not heard." Their opinion never counts #5700fut

[Jonathon Godwin @JonGodwin015]

I think it's important that the book reminds us that children often don't have a voice #5700fut

[Jonathon Godwin @JonGodwin015]

@brittanyyycurry @Bobbi_CW I agree complete! #5700res

[Jonathon Godwin @JonGodwin015]

@almayck123 The book mentions that the children have an aversion to feeling "institutionalized" and being monitored by cameras may not help #5700res

[Jonathon Godwin @JonGodwin015]

@almayck123 You have a great point, but I'm not so sure that cameras may be a great answer #5700res

[Jonathon Godwin @JonGodwin015]

It may be hard for them to not have a defeatist attitude about it #5700res

[Jonathon Godwin @JonGodwin015]

I'm sure it can feel like a harsh punishment to these children who already feel like they're "bad" kids anyway #5700res

[Jonathon Godwin @JonGodwin015]

I'm sure being reverted to an earlier level of Tx must be hard on the child and I wonder how the demerit is explained #5700res

[Jonathon Godwin @JonGodwin015]

Graduating from one hall to the next and gaining all the perks that come with it must feel like such an accomplishment #5700res

[Jonathon Godwin @JonGodwin015]

It is interesting to me that residential settings have different stages that allow much more freedom as time goes on #5700res

[Jonathon Godwin @JonGodwin015]

@OliviaSWK Agreed! Unfortunately the adoption agency's do not provide counseling for them after the separation process is complete. #5700adopt

[Jonathon Godwin @JonGodwin015]

@Mbcreech_UNCP @OliviaSWK That's interesting. Thanks for disclosing that personal information to us!!!
