Notes:	Outlines the methodology and results of a US study that utilised an ecological model of family relationships to assess the role of the mother-child relationship in mediating the effects of witnessing domestic violence on preschool-age children. An overview of research into the impact of domestic violence on young children and parenting practices is provided and the paucity of research involving children under six is highlighted. The findings reveal a potential for domestic violence to have a relatively positive effect on parenting and it is suggested that the negative impact of domestic violence is something which arises early in family relationships, rather than as a result of a maternal figure’s mental health.
