When children witness domestic violence in the home setting, it is likely for them to accept violence in any form when they grew up. Children aged between four to five years would react differently to teenagers who witness domestic violence. Some of them are likely to get more aggressive as they grow up, while some could keep things bottled up. It could be one pattern to witness an event. But there are a few children who try not to make the same mistake as their parents. However, post-traumatic stress disorder is a common syndrome in both sections.
Most parents do not understand is that the acceptance of domestic violence by either is likely to affect a child’s future. It could be possible that only a few children would not resist and fight back their situations. In most cases, it is also possible that a child may interpret that doing violence can get the job done. The growing years of a child are challenging when faced with domestic violence. When a child is four or five years of age, the child may develop the habit of wetting the bed or refuse to leave home in any circumstances. It is also likely that a child may become more obedient to the parent, afraid of being harmed.
The effects of domestic violence on children could be adverse. The emotional and psychological well-being of a child could make a heavy mess. The child’s self-esteem may reduce, and the attitude to victimization can cause hindrance in different aspects of life.
A child reacts differently to the other child, even when both are the victims of domestic violence. Some of the signs of effects of domestic violence could be aggression and bullying, refusal to socialize, anxiety and depression, suicidal thoughts, nightmares, attention-seeking behavior like tantrums, trouble in learning, eating disorders, drug addiction, and isolation.
The above signs are an embodiment of both physical and mental health abuse. Such issues must be addressed on time because one may not notice them, but violence pays a significant impact on the child. The child’s growth years could only decide if the outcome was good or bad. The parents should know that their union is for the child’s responsibility. It would be potent to separate from each other than being a victim of violence and disrupting the life of their child or children.
Absolutely yes! Domestic violence not only affect the children but it affects the whole family.
Domestic violence is the violence which is faced by woman through husband or his family members. Domestic violence is a crime but is still faced by many women. It creates a bad environment in society as well as house. Children see their mother being beaten by their father. Boy child learns how to control his wife like his father does. How to beat her if she does anything wrong. It gives him power of authority and as he had learnt this in his childhood by his father he will definitely going to do this in future. He will soon start not to talk respectively with his mother. It will create a huge impact on his life. Girl child will learn that she has to prepare herself for the future work that his husband is going to do with her that her father does to her. She wants to save her mother from Domestic violence but she can’t do it. Because if she will interrupt in between she will alsp be beaten. Raising a voice by a woman is always shut by the society.
Children learn speaking abusive words from their home which they listen when his father say it to his mother. They are mostly affected by this all drama.Yes, it definitely affects the child at home. Although the victim definitely goes through a lot of pain; the impact of being a witness of abuse affects the child in many ways.
The child might be the perpetrator of the crime to their partner in the future if they do not get the required help. Children who are witnesses of abuse tend to do the same to their future partners more than other children.
Abuse sets a wrong example. Some children might think this behavior is normal, while some might have no hope. With the required support, one can get through this. It not only affects children but also growing young adults. By witnessing this behavior, they often act out in certain ways because it traumatized them. It often affects their social life and the way they act around others.
People need to think before they lay a hand on anyone. Firstly, they need to think if the person they’re going to abuse actually requires this. No, they definitely do not. There is no justification for abuse. This is what happens when you are a witness of domestic abuse. They also need to think of their kids if they have any, because children often mimic behavior which they learn from adults, mostly their parents.
If people learnt to respect people more and just get out of relationships which wouldn’t work out instead of abusing them, it would be good. And to watch what they’re doing around their children because it impacts them, both indirectly and directlyWithout a doubt, it is a yes to this question. Domestic violence not only hurt women physically but also the children at home are hurt mentally. Children grow up gaining knowledge from what they see,hear and experience. Most of the visuals they see during their childhood is nailed in their mind forever. Likewise, when a girl child grows up seeing domestic violence at her home, she is forever afraid of men and pushed to be live in her limit not believing anyone around. On the other hand, when a boy child grows up seeing domestic violence at his home is not aware that it is a crime and he takes it granted to follow it in his later age. Domestic violence at home is a crime.
Domestic violence is a much graver social issue than it is assumed to be. The reason that it poses such a threat to the society is because generally, it is not taken that seriously or more often than not it is shrugged off by most people. This is probably because they can hardly empathize with the woman who is on the receiving end of domestic violence nor are they directly affected by it. But the ones who are indeed directly and most adversely affected by domestic violence are the children of the house.
Children, as we all know, have quite impressionable minds. Whatever they see and observe at such young age, influences their traits and personality as adults. So when young boys and girls see their mother being mercilessly beaten and abused by their own father, one can only imagine how much it affects them! There can be multiple ways domestic violence affect the children. Some children gradually get used to these instances of violence at their homes and eventually become indifferent, which may lead to either themselves practicing this horrendous offense (in case of boys) when they become adults or to stay mum and quietly suffer this same atrocity as their mothers did (in case of girls), if they happen to suffer the same unfortunate fate as their mothers.
In other cases, these children undergo such severe mental trauma that growing up they become so emotionally numb that they lose the ability to love altogether. They struggle to build a meaningful relationship or even worse they despise getting into one. This is because being firsthand witness to domestic violence in their childhood, probably make them lose faith in the existence of love altogether. The most worrisome thing here is that, in almost all cases they are not even aware of this mental trauma of theirs. Such children are often found to be staying aloof, easily irritated, underachieving, temperamental and inhospitable in their disposition. This may even result in them being bullied at schools and colleges which only makes their mental condition messier.
All these often overlooked aspects of domestic violence must be taken more seriously and more stringent measures must be taken to control the instances of domestic violence. Women should be empowered enough so that they can take a stand against the atrocities being committed against them. This way they can probably foster their children better and save them from being sucked into the black hole of hopelessness and hatred. Children, as we know are the future of our race and if they don’t turn out good for any reason, our future will be dire jeopardy.
Children’s are affected from every situation comes in their childhood. Some are very sensitive ones who get influenced by any mishap happens and it touches their personality in a very negative way. A child will become what they saw in front of their eyes. Domestic violence at home is the scariest experience children have during their upbringing. The children with this kind of environment end up with a mental illness. Their mental health is deteriorated from the very beginning when the child needs the most affection and love. Though, parents make their basic needs to be fulfilled but their internal needs are being ignored. The mental trauma occupying their mind and body result into a drastic effect once they are adults. Children’s needs the atmosphere of love affection and kindness. They don’t need to see the violence and make that a part of their life. A child with domestic violence background assumes that its normal to do domestic violence or to be a victim of the violence because of the normalcy created around them. Life becomes very tough for these children’s because of the mental illness they face (the noise of violence at night haunts, the screams ,the helplessness, the trauma and the dark past).
Basically, domestic violence is like a murder for their physical and emotional growth. They end up being under confident, low self-esteem and behave cowardly at every problem and circumstances. Sometimes the child does not show any symptoms in their childhood but the symptoms start once they reach adulthood and one cannot find the reason for their mental illness at that particular time.Therfore, As a human being we all should seek medical help and treatment if we go through rough patch of our mental health. Domestic Violence is not the solution for health in any way. It only ruins the whole people associated with us and most importantly the next generation of our species are being traumatized for no reason.
