Children who experience domestic violence are often too scared to talk about it, so adults have to open the conversation. How is the cycle of domestic violence broken? It starts by teaching children that they aren’t responsible for the situation and that violence is not the norm. Some researchers estimate that as many as one-third of children are exposed to intimate partner violence at some point during their childhood. According to the Resource Center on Domestic Violence: Child Protection and Custody, 3.3 to 10 million children are exposed to adult domestic violence situations annually. Children exposed to violence are more likely to be abusers or victims of violence. Studies from various countries support the findings that rates of abuse are higher among women whose husbands were abused as children or who saw their mothers being abused.”
“The single best predictor of children becoming either perpetrators or victims of domestic violence later in life is whether or not they grow up in a home where there is domestic violence. According to UNICEF’s “Behind Closed Doors”: Children are often the silent victims of domestic violence, whether they live in a home where it’s the norm or just experience it second-hand as they listen to their uncle yell at their aunt at a family dinner.
