DYK: Kids experience #domesticviolence by hearing, seeing or getting in the middle of violence. Kids can also see a victim’s reaction to the violence or may live in fear for themselves or a parent. Kids don’t forget about the violence after it’s over, and it can affect them on and off the athletic field, and can even affect their performance because they are worried about their home life. As a coach and positive role model in a child’s life, you play an important role! Learn more about how children experience violence and how you can help a child https://bit.ly/3fT9pVf.
