- Summary:
-
Children's exposure to violence can potentially impede all stages of their development. This bulletin discusses why abused children have difficulty learning and the impact of growing up in violent surroundings and unsafe neighborhoods. It identifies the risk factors of violence, as well as the following key factors that contribute to a child's ability to overcome the effects of a dangerous environment: (1) having access to an educational environment that promotes constructive coping skills and helps children understand how they can actively participate and achieve in life; (2) learning an active coping style that allows them to become involved in activities and positive relationships; (3) achieving an adequate level of self-confidence and self-esteem and a sufficient level of cognitive competence; and (4) engaging in a strong, caring relationship with an adult who models positive social behavior. Learning itself can also be a tool for violence prevention. The basic charge to schools is to provide all children with an academically sound education in a safe environment: to develop school-community partnerships, promote parent participation in school decision making, and offer an array of programs such as job training, adult education courses, family counseling services, or recreational programs.
