Effects of domestic violence on children’s minds

Unhappiness in the family, especially as a result of a violent father or mother, creates a strong negative impact on children’s minds. Constant quarreling and a lack of peace at home also creates insecurity in them. A first hand experience of violent acts will leave a long-term impression in the minds of children.



Children need a conducive environment to grow physically and spiritually. A lack of love and patience and other essential ingredients to foster a healthy home makes life difficult
for the children. It can affect their education, their attitude towards the world and their future interaction with society.

Cultivation of love, respect, and patience among family members is a long-term process. The public must realize the importance of family relationships, the lack of which causes disharmony resulting in misunderstanding, temper outbursts and even of physical harm. Patience is also an important virtue to be cultivated between husband and wife. Understanding another can only come about if both parties are willing to listen to another and not jump to conclusions.
