  9. Domestic Violence On Children

  10. The effects on Children • Children witnessing domestic violence can experience a variety of difficulties. Specifically dealing with three types of problems. • 1. Behavioral, Social, and Emotional • 2. Cognitive problems • 3. Long term problems • All these problems will affects a child's development

  11. Behavioral, Social, and Emotional problems • Children who are exposed to domestic violence tend to become fearful and anxious. • Since they witnessed an act of violence they start being more aware of their surroundings and start waiting on a future event to occur. • They start to believe that they’re not safe and is concerned not just for their own safety, but for their mother and other family members. • Thebecomes isolated, they start seeking more attention or spend time worrying about everything but the major problem at hand. • A child then starts being disobedient, depressed, and full of low self-esteem.

  12. Cognitive Problems : Have trouble dealing with their educational process. Have trouble understanding and may cause the child to have a hard time finding solutions and resolving issues. A boy can start falling into stereotypical talk such as having attitude problems, and not taking their education seriously.

  13. Long Term Problems • A child witnessing domestic violence at a young age will haunt them until their adulthood. This could cause violence with any type of relationship the child will have in their future. Also the adult will start having a tolerance level for use of violence that is not acceptable. • “Most experts believe that children who are raised in abusive homes learn that violence is an effective way to resolve conflicts and problems” - Lundy Bancroft

  14. I kept hearing screams I was told to stay in my room. I wanted to listen but I couldn’t because this wasn’t the first time, I just wanted everything to end right then and there. I approached the door where my mother and father were inside fighting. I didn’t understand to much at my age but I knew my father was not suppose to hit my mom. It seemed like every time they would fight things would get worse, I started banging on the door screaming STOP STOP STOP! I thought about running back to my room but I had to open the door to make it stop and so I did. I opened the door to witness my mother hitting my father with a frying pan. I couldn’t believe things at that moment next thing you know my mother runs out the house and that was the last time I ever saw her.
