One can only imagine the effect on a child of seeing his or her parents having a row that manifests itself in the form of physical violence. When such an incident is etched on the minds of children, they show it in different ways. Perhaps the worst thing they can do is to keep it bottled up and it is better if they externalise their feelings. We need to ensure that the necessary facilities and tools are available to those charged with recognising the symptoms of the problems I have mentioned, so they can put in place the mechanisms necessary to deal with the issues.
