In an unhealthy relationship one partner will try to control and have power over their partner. This wheel, developed by Domestic Abuse Intervention Project, shows some of the tactics, actions, and behaviors someone will use in an unhealthy and abusive relationship to gain and maintain control over their partner. This is an excellent tool to use in discussing healthy and unhealthy relationships with your child. Work around the wheel and ask your child if they have experienced these and ask them to write down examples. This creates a visual for them to make the connection that what they are experiencing is unhealthy and/or abusive.
