Bangkok: Criminal statistics indicate that violent acts committed by children and youth often involve firearms. While cases may have decreased in some periods, the level of violence has increased. Psychologists warn that this silent threat reflects cracks in society, emphasizing that the family is the first line of defense and that strong relationships and understanding are crucial.
According to Thai News Agency, experts suggest that fostering open communication and understanding within families can play a significant role in addressing the root causes of youth violence. Families are encouraged to engage in regular discussions and provide a supportive environment that allows children to express their feelings and concerns.
Furthermore, involving children in community activities and educational programs can help in redirecting their energy towards positive and productive endeavors. By doing so, families can contribute to reducing the likelihood of children engaging in violent behavior.
