From the day we are born we are bonded with that special someone you know our mother and father. They teach us the way of life things we should and should not do and always treat everyone with respect. As toddlers our minds are little sponges waiting to absorb any and everything our minds are exposed to. So from time to time we may take in the bad stuff and test it out on people, like talking to people in a rude way or demanding things in a way a child shouldn’t basically the child is mimicking the adult. That’s when the parents step in and mold there child into a well-mannered being and properly tell them how to speak to adults. Teaching the common mannerism like saying please, thank you, and excuse me makes a big difference in someone’s perception of you also that tells that person that their parents have taught them well. There is a lot more mannerism to be taught to a child but we learn these…

Many parents seemed to have forgotten the impact that domestic violence has on a child. A big impact is that of being exposed to domestic violence at an early age, also the effect that domestic observation has on an individual and his character.

Children need to listen to their parents when they are told to do something and show their parents respect by doing it the first time they ask.

There are many factors which lead to the way children act today. The way a child is raised, is a reflection of the lack of respect which an adolescent embraces for their elders. Over time, generations of human beings have become more reliant on technology. This has made mankind lazy and uncultured, causing a reflection on our children. Also, there have been many laws which were set against structure in a child 's life. Whether the child is at home, school, or with a care giver such as a “babysitter”, there are limits to how a child can be disciplined. However, when a child has a lack of authoritative parents, it often times produces the young one 's disrespect for others. The powerful painting by Banksy entitled, Girl Patting Down Army Soldier, demonstrates role reversal between child and adult. The image clearly illustrates a young girl in a pink dress and pig-tails, patting down a strong, fierce soldier. Soldiers represent power and authority, and this little girl is taking over that roll. This, to an extent, is the way our generation of children are becoming. They believe they are equals with adults in this world. They do this by bossing their parents around, and disrespecting them day after day.…

Whenever the thought of domestic violence comes to mind, more than often the visual picture is a women or a child.

Children exposed to violence in their home often have conflicting feelings towards their parents. The child becomes overprotective over their parent and feels sorry for them, like they did something. They often develop anxiety, they are always nervous. Grief, shame, and low self esteem are common emotions that children exposed to domestic violence experience. Depression is a common problem for children, but it is more common in the children who have been exposed to domestic violence. The child often feels helpless, like he/she couldn’t do anything to help. More girls internalize their emotions and show signs of depression than boys. Boys show their emotion with aggression and hostility. They get mad at the world. Witnessing violence in the home can give the child the idea that nothing is safe in the world. It can show them that they are not worth being kept safe. For girls, if she sees her father beating on her mother, then she will feel that every man beats on his wife. So it's two ways it can go. She will see it as it's okay and let her husband beat her or she will be afraid of men. Some children act out through anger and are more aggressive. It doesn’t matter what the situation is, the child will most likely respond with anger. Children and young people particularly highlighted angry feelings as a consequence of experiencing domestic violence. Post traumatic stress disorder can result in children from exposure to domestic violence. Symptoms of this are nightmares, insomnia, anxiety, increased alertness to the environment, having problems concentrating, and can lead to physical symptoms.

The parents see their child as a therapist or confidant. They are forced to mature faster than the average child. They take on…
