Healthy relationship of the couple has some instances
where both the spouses go through ups and downs and are subjected to extreme
squabbles and disagreements which might trigger unhealthy conversations midst
the serene environment of the house.
However, your child is more likely to be affected with such fights
and arguments if they daily flag with the ghoulish and warped war of words. Many
parents prefer keeping the quarrel out of the kids' view but such serious
conflicts can gravely take a toll on kids someday.
It will not just crude their mental health but the toxic
interactions at home-place can emotionally damage the child in the long run.
Although fighting and arguing is a part and parcel of married life, at least
one of the two has to keep low to avoid the conversations getting all nasty.
While verbal fights have been lashing out the couples, children encountering
this would perhaps degrade their emotional balance and mental stability whilst
being around parents.
Here are 5 ways your child is getting affected with your
usual fight and drama:-
1.
Becomes
aggressive
Children adapt what they usually see or hear. While
parents are throwing words at each other, it is quite evident that the child is
disastrously accepting that situation. Children start believing that an answer to
any argument is to fight and grow aggressive. This not just gives them the
reason to solve each problem similarly, but they also end up being dissociated
from other healthy relationships due to adapted aggression.
2.
Children
are emotional
Whenever a conflict is taking place, usually the child
becomes precarious about the stability of family since they’re continuously exposed
to worries and seamless abnormality at home. This simply makes them difficult
to predict the pessimism and they usually end up being in emotional distress
and fear. Regular flights between parents can turn all positivity into
negativity among children and they might suffer from problems like anxiety and
depression.
3. Health problems
Children who turn anxious and depressed by witnessing
regular fights without surcease, they either stop eating, lose their appetite
or start over-eating and cannot get a hold on their eating problems. This issue
may result in head-aches or stomach related problems. It also might be the reason why your child is unable to sleep at nights which can uphill behavioural
issues within them.
4.
Low
self-esteem
Children start adapting feelings of shame, guilt and unworthiness when they understand that they’re helpless and cannot resolve conflicts going on in between their parents. This can turn them down and effect on their mental health decreasing their self-esteem. It would hence be hard for your child to maintain a good image in both personal and professional life.
5.
Parent-child
relationship degrades
Overpowering all the love and strengths of your
child and you, misunderstandings and foul fights may affect children’s physical
and mental health. This will simply destroy the relationship between you and
your child.
