Slide 3

Parental stress appears to have the largest effect on children. Parental stress is present in

homes with IPV and this stress creates an unhealthy environment where the children are not

cared for as they should be and therefore do not develop appropriately situations (Goddard &

Bedi, 2009; Huth-Bocks & Hughes, 2007; Mbilinyi, Edleson, Hageneister & Beeman, 2007;

Moylan, Herrenkohl, Sousa, Tajima, Herrenkohl & Russo, 2009; Owen, Thompson, Shaffer,

Jackson & Kaslow, 2009; van de Bosse & McGinn, 2009).

Slide 4

Children tend to model their parents. This modeling can lead the child to display

symptoms of depression and/or anger (Adler, Rosenfeld & Proctor, 2009). Furthermore,

adaptability is often an issue in these household. When adaptability is too high the family is

chaotic. In a chaotic family there are often violent shifts in the family dynamics. When

adaptability is too low a rigid family develops and there is one leader and his or her rules are

never to be broken (Adler et al., 2009).

Slides 5, 6 and 7

There are 3 main areas where children who were present for IPV behaved outside the

norm for other children their age. These areas are internalizing behaviors, externalizing

behaviors and social adaption (Glicken, 2004; Goddard & Bedi, 2009; Kashani & Allan, 1998).

These will be discussed in slides 5, 6 and 7.

Slide 11

POWERPOINT NOTES 3

While IPV exposure does not appear to have a strong correlation with internalizing and

externalizing behaviors, the environment which surrounds IPV would not be present of there was

no violence so the two are related (Goddard & Bedi, 2009; Mbilinyi et al., 2007; Moylan et al.,

2009; Huth-Bocks & Hughes, 2007; Owen et al. , 2009). It remains important to watch for

warning signs so that early interventions can be made within the family.
