What happens to children when parents quarrel in front of them?

Parents may fight at home for money, home chores, sex or about leisure time activities.

Parents may be tired after long hours of work and things may go out of control. Kids pay close attention to your emotions.

Watching conflicts is not good for your kid. When children see their parents happy, they grow better. Destructive conflicts may harm your child.

Destructive conflicts like -

# Silent tactics like avoiding your partner.

# Verbal aggression like yelling, screaming.

# Physical aggression like hitting, throwing things.

Children can become anxious, upset or scared by such kind of behavior of the parent. They may start thinking that they are the cause for their fight. They may come to a conclusion that their parents don't love each other.

They may think their parents will take divorce and start feeling unprotected. They can develop sleep disturbances, stomach aches or headaches.

Children whose parents fight have a high Cortisol level, according to studies. This may cause behavioral problems in them. Behavioral problems may cause social problems with them.

Arguments happen in every family. But with love and understanding problems can be solved. When parents apologize, everyone feels better again. Things will become normal.

If both of you are not able to solve your problems, you should take help from family, friends or counselors.
