For example, “The emotional responses of children who witness domestic violence may include fear, guilt, shame, sleep disturbances, sadness, depression, and anger (Domestic Violence Round Table, 2015).” It is evidently clear that children who come from abusive families may incur problems later in life as they establish and build personal and private relationships. For example, children that are exposed to their mother who is verbally, physically, or sexually abused may develop problematic relationships because of experienced aggression. This aggression may be taken out on peers, or even their own mother. When a child continuously is a witness in seeing their mother abused in any way, chances are they may display or express
Rabineer (2006) explained that as many as half of these children may participate in anti-social behaviour. These behaviours may range from acts such as petty theft, drug abuse and even violent acts of destruction or intentional harm to others. This provides us with yet another example of the challenges ADHD children pose on broader society. Taking into account the afore mentioned challenges ADHD children pose to society, it becomes pertinent to question the impact of their behaviour closer to home, that is, within their own family. Rabiner (1999) quoted the results of a study conducted by Kaplan, Crawford, Fisher and Dewey (1998) which revealed that parents of ADHD children reported feeling considerably dissatisfied with their family life.
When I read this for the first time, the first thought that came to mind was children that are exposed to domestic violence. Naturally, children that live in these conditions are prone to negative aspects that undoubtedly have a direct impact on their development. An article by the Child welfare organization clearly outlines the effects of domestic violence on children. Its interesting to note that these children were directly abused themselves but rather witness. It states that there are behavioral/ emotional, cognitive/ attitudinal as well as long term problems.

The cycle of abuse is difficult to interrupt; abused children often, as adults, become abusers themselves. To prevent child abuse in my community, I would provide home-based programs that provide education, health care and positive parenting skills to families and those who may be planning on having a
Child abuse is a complex phenomenon with multiple causes. Understanding the causes of abuse is crucial to addressing the problem of child abuse. Parents who physically abuse their spouses are more likely than others to physically abuse their children (Garbarino, & Garbarino, 1994). Many physically abusive parents and caregivers insist that their actions are simply forms of discipline—ways to make children learn to behave. But there is a big difference between using physical punishment to discipline and physical abuse.
The social learning theory(slt) believes that all behavior is learnt form experience(nurture) but we also learn through observation. The offenders in this case may have observed domestic violence among their parents and saw this as a normal or acceptable behavior. This is the cycle of abuse which passes down from generation to generation. In most cases where children observe violence among their parents they are most likely to imitate this behavior when they get a partner as they see it as an acceptable
It is however linked to one’s experience while growing up. Some parents are known to narrate stories to their kids on how tough their life was while growing up and may at times end up differing on issues. In such eventualities, some tend to resort to violence as a means to express their anger. While doing so, rarely does it achieve its intended goal as hoped, but could at times only harden kids at such a tender age (Gershoff). Such kids could grow up in anger and result in more violence.
Psychologists and Pediatricians have long recognized the effects of abandonment in children. Psychoanalysts that have an interest in children have taken notice to the emotional development of children who have been a subject of traumatic experiences, as well as the possible unhealthy role of the family environment. Abandonment is at the center of a number of asocial behaviors. Antisocial behaviors is an alarm for children who are distressed due to the cause of abandonment. These studies had also been done previously during the World War 2 era with the same results.
The influence an environment has over growing adolescents will impact them. Also, easy access to firearms, violent video games, and aggressive music will furthermore add to how children and adolescents engage in certain types of behaviors that will lead them to performing a crime Culture plays a huge role on how our children in America are raised. Some parents tend to put restrictions when others try to discipline their children when they are doing something inappropriate, they have a tendency to get offended when others try to guide or correct them. My mentality on discipline is still old fashioned, if my child is doing something wrong, then by all means, take my child and correct them. It’s better to correct the issue when they are small than to repent later when it might be too and they might end up in
