This seems to be the first study to research the effect of babies early exposure to domestic violence and how it develops in their social behaviors later in childhood.
I especially appreciate the quote from Megan Homes, “People may think children that young are passive and unaware, but they pay attention to what’s happening around them.”
Your baby is watching your every move and taking notes. Modeling those behaviors they see you doing and mimicking the words they hear you say (sometimes the inappropriate ones). Have you ever looked at your child and seen a reflection of yourself?
