What is it about?
Exposure to family violence during early childhood has detrimental effects. By examining nearly 3,000 families in the U.S., we found that a positive relationship between children and their parents may prevent exposed children from developing aggressive behaviors in later years.

Why is it important?
Partner violence and aggression can be passed on to the next generation. A positive relationship between children and parents may break this intergenerational link.
Perspectives
Guided by Bowlby's Attachment Theory and Hischi's Social Control Theory, we argue that intergenerational transmission of violence can be prevented by reinforcing the child-parent emotional bond.
