Trauma will affect children’s development because it does give an impact to their emotion that relate to their behaviour. Traumatise children likely will develop fear and tend to be too sensitive into something that may remind them of the trauma and possibility being aggressive in such a way thinking they need to protect themselves. They tend to have lack in their emotion and may not coping themselves with their surrounding well. Difficulty to get themselves into the surrounding, chances they will reduce their involvement in learning or playing or being around with other people. For not having much interaction may affect their language development and probably having a social issue.
Research has consistently found that child abuse and neglect (maltreatment) increases the risk of lower academic achievement and problematic school performance. These children have suffered significant emotional stress during critical periods of early brain development and personality formation, the support they require is reparative as well as
These factors decide the development of the human brain. The increase in all forms of domestic abuse is influenced by mental illness and childhood trauma. There are multiple types of domestic abuse, every type is very serious and dangerous to victims. It has everlasting effects on mental, physical, and sexual health. Sexual abuse occurs when a
The Long-term Impacts of Child Abuse When a child is abused, they have an increased risk for experiencing future violent victimization and perpetration, substance abuse, STI’s, delayed brain development, lower educational attainment, and limited employment opportunities. In the U.S, 1 in 7 children experience child abuse and neglect as of last year. Child abuse is the physical and mental maltreatment of a child, often resulting in neglect, physical or sexual harassment, emotional or verbal torment and so forth. This can threaten the child's health or create harm to the child in any way. At times the child may receive a lack of care or resources to come to.

When in the moment of abuse, no one focuses on the long-term effects that can be faced. The main focus is getting the child out of their situation. Although that is very important, it is also important to pay attention to the consequences and its long-term effects. Child abuse can either have physical or emotional consequences on the victim, and even the perpetrator. Many people think that since the abuser is the one doing these horrific acts, that they have not been through it or could be affected.
Once a child is married, she is more likely to be a victim of domestic violence. The World Health Organization reported, 35% of women worldwide have experienced either intimate partner violence or non-partner sexual violence in their lifetime. The effects of violence on a victim's health are
Education increases children’s social development, but also can hurt a child’s social development if there is a problem with bullies. It raises a child’s cognitive skill by introducing new ideas, skills, concepts and opportunities. Education has a positive effect on child’s brain growth and development
In the article “ The Developmental Impact of Child Abuse on Adulthood: Implications for Counselors,” Adultspan Journal explains the multiple effects of child abuse. The authors April Sikes and Dancia Hays explain how child abuse has an extremely negative effect on children as they transition into adulthood. These effects can be physical, social, and even mental. Being treated badly as a child increases the risks in social development. Some examples of this are substance abuse, criminal behavior, violence, and risky sexual behavior.
Furthermore domestic violence programs can lay out a strong foundation of zero tolerance by better informing young children. This is something that can be instrumental to the minimization of domestic violence. To demonstrate the importance, one must understand that if domestic violence is not accurately identified, there will be consequences. Research shows that program/ caseworker efforts to improve family involvement can make the abuse worse toward the child or non offending parent. Outside program involvement needs to be confidential with the child and conducted in a way that will make the child feel secure.
416 & Davies 2008,p. 257). Another important aspect of domestic violence that lacks attention is its dynamics thus there needs to be more training as all levels of the education system as this is where most of the socialisation peaks, as education is a proactive way of reducing risk rather than arresting which is reactive ( Davies 2008,
The impacts continue on until the child becomes an adult and it reappears in their relationship or work habits as an adult. The people who have experienced such child abuse create relationships in order for them to feel protected. They also seek relationships because they want to be cared for and are afraid of abandonment (Herman 111). Sadly, people who are survivors of Chronic Child abuse are more prone to be victimized as well as allow themselves to be hurt because they have a skewed belief that they deserve nothing better (Herman 111). A child who have experienced Chronic Child Abuse often times have more difficulty transitioning into adulthood because of their abnormal state of consciousness and disturbance in their normal bodily functions caused by their altered personality, emotion, and behavior (133).
Domestic Violence: Early Exposure to Violence and How Violence Affects Children and Families By: Emily Lopez Texas Woman’s University 03/06/2018 Abstract Domestic Violence is an issue that is prevalent in the United States. Domestic violence can have a tremendous impact on individuals, children and families and last a lifetime. This paper will examine two theories, social learning theory and conflict theory, and will be used to address the issue of domestic violence.
A child who experiences trauma of domestic violence will hinder their emotional growth, hence the child will not develop and maintain a normal level of trust. A child that experiences domestic violence or is exposed to domestic violence can develop a fear of their environment, for they think that everyone will try to hurt them. They also do not trust anyone with their problems or issues, hence they will keep everything inside and this will affect their state of mind. An abused spouse may experience chronic psydiasmatic pain or pain due to diffuse trauma without visible evidence. This form of pain will have a very bad effect on the body.
One factor that foster aggression in children includes influences from the environment, for example, stress (Groh et al., 2014). Environment influence is associated with increased reliance of the child towards aggression as a strategy to cope. Exposure to acts of violence is also a factor to aggressive behaviour in children where many people tend to think that the children are too young to understand what is going on. It is estimated that millions of children do witness various forms of domestic violence every year (Kanne & Mazurek, 2010). Various literature have identified impacts of this exposure to children.
