When Children Harm in the Home
Imagine for a moment that you have become frightened of your child. It began with hitting and scratching, progressed to punching and kicking and now, as puberty arrives, you dread the name-calling, the threats and aggression. As a parent, you feel ashamed that you are afraid of your child. You don’t want to call the police or ask for help worrying that there may be negative consequences to all members of your family. It is difficult to invite people into your home — they might see the damage — and it is difficult to go out, because it’s not safe to leave your child at home. You are alone, exhausted from walking on eggshells, and feeling helpless and hopeless.
