Discuss some of the effects on a child who witnesses domestic violence

What will be an ideal response?


Witnessing domestic violence can have traumatic effects on children. The basic sense of trust that should be present in a child's life may be damaged or destabilized, which may lead to fear, discipline problems, depression, poor social interaction, and drug abuse among children. Both internalizing and externalizing behavioral problems may be present if a child has witnessed severe domestic partner violence. For some children, the witnessing of violence toward their mothers puts them at risk for emotional and behavioral problems and for reproducing such violent behavior.
