No matter what their age, children are deeply hurt when they are physically, sexually, or emotionally abused or when they see or hear violence in their homes and communities. When children see and hear too much that is frightening, their world feels unsafe and insecure. Each child and situation is different, but exposure to violence can overwhelm children at any age and lead to problems in their daily lives. Some children may have an emotional or physical reaction. Others may find it harder to recover from a frightening experience. Exposure to violence especially when it is ongoing and intense can harm children s natural, healthy development unless they receive support to help them cope and heal.pdfChild welfareGuidelinesPrevention -- school-basedSchool -- Based preventionTreatmentViolence -- domesticViolence -- exposureText
