Children who witness parental fights are conditioned to accept abuse and show worse academic performance and emotional distress. Parents should handle conflicts maturely and respectfully in front of kids to minimize the damage.
Did you fight in front of your kids? Sometimes it is hard to avoid a conflict in front of kids. However, it is important to know the effect this has on them. Kids get conditioned by what they see. They might feel that physical and verbal abuse is acceptable to resolve conflicts. Parent conflict affects their concentration and academic performance. Studies have shown that these kids also feel anxious, lonely, and unheard. Therefore, resolve your conflict respectfully in front of your kids. Have mature conversations. Leave your ego aside and apologize to each other. Most importantly, keep a check on your emotions. If the situation is getting very tough, please take a break. You need to do this both for yourself and for your child.
