A new study warns couples to stop arguing in front of their children, as this has a damaging effect on their lives growing up. Apparently, the children could even suffer from depression and could have suicidal tendencies. Scientists at the University of Sussex recently released this study confirming that the mental health of children could be greatly affected in the long run if their parents can't control and fight where they can see them.
In an article published by the Independent, an organization called the Early Intervention Foundation (EIF) said that the relationships of parents have a huge impact on their children and it is a must that they are careful with their actions, especially when in front of them. Parents who always fight tend to be even more hostile to their children, which again has a bad effect on their kids' mental health.
These types of parents tend to also neglect the immediate needs of their kids, as they are more focus on the conflict that is happening in their personal relationship. This is dangerous because this study shows children involved in this kind of family could be suicidal. They don't feel love and accepted anymore, which is why they tend to be even more insecure and vulnerable outside their home.
If they are exposed to this kind of lifestyle for the longest time, they too could become aggressive and be violent towards other people. If they don't end up being the hostile type of person, they could be the complete opposite and that means subjecting themselves to depression and anxiety.
According to Developmental Science, children could also grow up having low self-esteem whenever they see their parents fighting. They lose confidence seeing the people who claim to love them don't look like they even love each other. Their grades in school are also affected and they could become under-achievers.
