School Children from domestically violent homes need special help.
The pressures of faced by young children from sound homes is enough, without any extra problems added to it from home.
The report by the national child bureau that domestic violence at home contributes to thousands of student absence from schools across the uk is a sad reality. Children do not ask to be born in violent environments , but can become problematic members of society because if it.
SKILLFUL
Special help to children from domestically violent homes is something that must be approached very skilfully and in collaboration with other organisations. Teachers and various authorities of schools need to identify such children and hi the extra mile to ensure their education is not suffering because of it.
Quality teaching and thorough methods of learning should be utilized in motivating children from those backgrounds to excel in school despite their backgrounds.
TRAINING
Social workers should receive enhanced training to work with both teachers and parents to power children to understand the importance of rising above he domestic violence in their homes by recognising the effects it usually has on children .
Parents in domestically violent relationships are less likely to be of much assistance to the vulnerable children suffering the psychological effects of the problems at home. Extra time should be spent with those children to help them home whatever talents they have .
The perpetrators of the domestic violence should be made to pay extra to support children who have to endure the trauma of living in that hostile environment. If children continue to absent themselves from education , will become a liability to society like many are today.
Children today boss their parents and teachers without consequence. Their behaviour is a reflection of their disruptive background .Many parents themselves are products of bad backgrounds and violent relationships , with not much to offer their children. It is up to responsible individuals to provide special help to children.
