The primary prevention of domestic violence begins and ends with parenting.  Children raised by parents who engaged in parenting behaviors and practices generally recognized as supporting their healthy development rarely grow into adults who commit domestic violence.  Similarly, those same fortunate children rarely grow into adults who form intimate relationships with abusers. Domestic violence will disappear if we start now with a new kind of parenting education...one that reaches everyone, everywhere, all the time.  Visit advancingparenting.org to read about what we do, why we do it, and our big plans for the future.
