Children of alcoholic parents are not necessarily doomed to a dysfunctional existence.

Some children of alcoholics may act more responsible within the family and among friends. They may cope with the alcoholism by becoming overachievers throughout school‚ and at the same time be emotionally isolated from other children and teachers. Their emotional problems may

Growing up as a little girl transitioning into a young woman‚ my parents advised me not to have a boyfriend until I finished school since it will get in the way of my academic performance. Unfortunately‚ it was not an advice that I followed. I am sure that in most cases‚ parents only want the best for their children.

Whilst research suggests that physical abuse peaks when children are 4 to 8 years old‚ physical assault resulting in death occurs most often to toddlers and infants (Kaplan and Labruna 1998).
