When Young Children Witness Spousal Abuse:

A message to parents who suffer

Did you know that violence perpetrated between married couples is estimated to occur in around 25 percent of homes in the United States?  Did you know that violence between married couples is more prevalent in those families with children?  About 15.5 million children in our nation are witnessing the emotional, physical, or verbal abuse of one of their parents.  (McDonald, Jouriles, Ramisetty-Mikler, Caetano,  & Green , 2006).

Who are these children and why is it so hard to know who is suffering?

One might guess that it has to do with the fact that we simply don’t want to acknowledge the ugly truth of this kind of suffering.  So we collectively avoid looking at the signs that a child is in pain.  It might be that the child has already begun the process of internalizing the problem and shows no distress signs at all.   Or in some cases a child has learned to externalize the problem becoming agressive and redirecting the focus upon himself.

Are you interested in knowing how to support your child's emotional well-being using the power of Spirit?  Spirit is the term I use to describe the universal energy that some call God.   Spirit is the all-powerful source of life.  It is always with us.  We can summon the joy, comfort and safety of Spirit at any given moment.  Children are remarkably attuned to this and we can help them by reminding them of the ease in connecting with Spirit in times of stress.  I can teach you how to guide you children in this knowingness and ultimately support their emotional, social, physical and intellectual outcomes.  If you have a question, just ask.  I am thrilled to have the opportunity to share my experiences in supporting my own child's outcomes with you!
