Parents who fight in front of their children are harming the mind of their children unknowingly. Children are very sensitive so they get easily affected by the fighting between their parents.
- Parents can have different opinions on the same topic but showing this indifference to the child will harm him. Child can easily manipulate a parent if he knows that a difference exists between Parent’s thinking.
- It’s alright to have different views. However, it is important to respect your partner’s right to his or her own stance on child rearing. Don’t try and impose your opinions on your partner. If you believe hitting a child is wrong, then don’t hit your child, but don’t stop your partner from doing so.
- Very often when children don’t get permission from one parent, they rush to the other. In such a case it is important not to overrule a decision once made.
- If your partner has denied permission and your child comes wailing to you, ask your child to sit back and reflect on why she thinks she has not got permission, and what she can do in the future to ensure she gets it.
- If you take the side of your child against the other parent, your child will start playing you and your partner against each other. This will give the child the feeling that one partner is stronger than the other in the relationship, and will take, what she perceives to be the ‘weaker’ partner, for granted.
- Your child has an individual relationship with each parent, and the other parent should not interfere in such a relationship. In addition, parents have to respect children’s individual relationships with not just the other parent, but also with friends and other relatives.
- If neither parent takes her side against each other, she will learn to respect both parents.
- If she gets teased at school, she will learn that life is not fair. But what is important is that she will learn to cope – without your help.
- Let your child form her own relationships with others. If she has a fight with her friends, she will learn to resolve it herself.
