A Systemic Review of the Relationship Between Anger Regulation and Academic Achievement in Children Exposed to Domestic Violence: Counselling Implications

Abstract

The complex association between academic achievement and anger management in children exposed to domestic violence is examined in this systematic analysis. The literature already in existence shows that children's emotional and psychological development is significantly impacted by domestic violence exposure, which frequently results in issues with controlling emotions, especially rage. These difficulties may hamper both academic achievement and general school participation. The review summarises results from a number of studies that highlight how emotion control functions as a mediator between exposure to violence and academic performance. The paper also addresses successful interventions that can help impacted children in academic contexts and promote healthy anger regulation, such as counselling services and social-emotional learning programs. This discussion seeks to educate educators, legislators, and mental health professionals about the urgent need for focused support networks that improve the emotional health and academic achievement of children affected by domestic abuse by offering a thorough summary of the state of the research.
