Normal, healthy families laugh and hug...
Family violence is out of control across the U.S. It's time we change the way we deal with domestic violence in America. To date, the majority of our resources are devoted to sheltering victims and punishing abusers. The time has come to devote far more of our energy to preventing abuse and stopping batterers before they inflict damage or harm.
Parents in healthy families don't let their children get away with hitting each other. They take control and intervene, teaching children the proper skills they need to deal with their problems.
We need to use the same strategies on a widespread basis.
