Children See Children Do

You Can Do
Something About It

CHILDRENseeCHILDRENdo was created to shift what children absorb in their everyday lives.
It’s a quiet initiative using creativity, storytelling, and connection to help break cycles of harm—one moment, one heart at a time.

No big production. No loud noise.
Just a humble, evolving project aligned with the UN’s goal of zero violence against children by 2030.

You Can Do Something About It

ChildrenSee ChildrenDo is a non-profit organisation which provides creative resources, education and awareness for parents, children, advocates and professionals in relation to Domestic Violence

Mission Statement 💥

Raise one eyebrow at violence. Raise one child with care. Boom 💥—generational cycle interrupted.

This mission isn’t rocket science. It’s ripple science.
Help one kid stop copying chaos, and their future kids will thank you (probably in a group chat).

One child. One safe home. A thousand ancestors sigh in relief.

37th Prime Minister of New Zealand Helen Clark

Creating Hope in Children to Overcome the Effects of Domestic Violence

When a parent is involved in an abusive relationship, it can cause children to suffer in silence. This site exists to help bring those silent stories into the light—especially for children who never had the words.

🕊️The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child reminds us: every child has the right to be safe.

🧠 Kids Learn From What They See (Even When You Think They’re Not Watching)

Spoiler alert: Kids don’t need subtitles.
They pick up on tone, tension, silence, slammed doors, and side-eyes—long before they know what taxes are.

Violence might not leave a visible bruise on a child, but it etches into their nervous system like graffiti on a clean wall. Fear becomes normal. Control becomes love. And guess what they carry into adulthood? That script.

ChildrenSeeChildrenDo exists to break that invisible inheritance. To remind grown-ups that “how we act” is the message—and the kids? They’re always tuned in.

🎬 No pressure. Just a daily audience with very sticky brains.
👀 Be the example worth copying. Or don’t—but they’ll copy it anyway.

Let’s make sure what they see… helps them thrive. Not survive.

🎨 Break the Cycle (Before It Breaks Us)

We all start life with a blank canvas—then come the smudges. Yelled at? Ignored? Witnessed the adult version of a tantrum? Yep, that sticks. And guess what? Kids copy what they see.

ChildrenSeeChildrenDo is here to interrupt the copy-paste.

We’re rewiring the next gen with better models—like respect, calm conflict, and knowing when to walk away instead of throw a chair. (Progress!)

This isn't just about calling out violence. It’s about replacing it—with tools, truths, and choices that don’t involve lifelong therapy bills.

👶 Mirror neurons learn what we show them. So let’s show up differently.

🕊 Backed by the UN’s ZERO violence by 2030 goal—and driven by the idea that your street matters just as much as global summits.

Let’s paint something better. For them. For us. For keeps.

🔁 Break the Loop. Burn the Script.

Abuse doesn’t usually start with a slap—it starts with silence.
Tension builds. Boom—an outburst. Then comes the “I’m sorry” phase: flowers, promises, the “I’ve changed” speech.

Rinse. Repeat. Rewrite?
Not unless we step in.

Kids raised in this pattern don’t just witness it—they learn it. It becomes their blueprint for love, parenting, conflict... life.

ChildrenSeeChildrenDo is here to rip up that old script and help families write something braver. Because cycles don’t break on their own—someone has to draw the line.
