Riassunto

This practical handbook explores domestic violence and its effects on children, at the time the violence happens, but also how this trauma may affect them later in their lives. The first half of the book examines what constitutes domestic violence and its links to child neglect. The author sets out how children can be affected at different ages and developmental stages, how the trauma may show itself in the child’s behaviour, and how it can affect education and social life. Importantly, the book also describes a range of ways in which parents and carers can help children deal with these lasting effects and recover. In the second half of the book, two families describe parenting children who have experienced domestic violence and how this affected, and continues to affect, day-to-day family life. This is a title in CoramBAAF's popular Parenting Matters series which explores a range of health needs and conditions commonly associated with looked after children. Presented in a straightforward and accessible style, each title in the series combines expert information and first-hand experiences in order to help readers gain knowledge, achieve understanding, and make informed decisions about caring for an affected child.
