Witness of Silence - Calming Ripples is the first volume in the All Children Are Yearning series. It offers a deeply reflective and transformative journey into systems that claim to protect, yet too often create silence, conflict, and harm. Through lived experience, emotional intelligence, and a calm, solution focused lens, this volume explores the quiet ripple effects of outdated family systems. It brings to light what happens when prevention is ignored, support is withheld, and parents are placed in opposition. This book is not about blame. It is about balance. It is a call to remember what truly protects children, a world where women are safe, fathers are involved, and children grow up surrounded by respect, equality, support, and connection. Written with clarity and care, this book invites readers into a vision where prevention replaces litigation, support replaces conflict, and silence is replaced by calm leadership and collaborative reform. As the first in a five volume series, it lays the foundation for a new support model. Later volumes explore mental health, housing, prevention first systems, healing through lived experience, public policy, social reform, emotional awareness, and the ripple effect of change. This is not just a book. It is a ripple, one that echoes the stories of many and helps guide us toward becoming truly civilised.
