But, there's always ways to improve. Here is a list of key guidelines to follow or remind yourself of when it comes to your child and to better your relationship.The important thing to know about child abuse is that abusive behavior is often cyclic. If you or someone you know can't stop anger from taking over, feels emotionally disconnected from a child, struggles to meet the child's needs, it's time to intervene and stop the cycle before it starts.
