Quotation/Visual Feature How it Sheds Light on My Topic/Exploratory

“There is a good quote by Dr. Charles, he says one
generation of deeply loving parents would change the
brain of the next generation and with that the world.”
Questions
Irresponsible parents or adults put the children at a
higher risk of becoming adults that will have negative
impact on the society, the world. The bad cycle will never
end because the children will pick up on their parents'
behaviours. Bad parenting leads to more bad parentings,
and negative things like mental illness, drug abuse, youth
drinking and so on.

“Children stimulate the intense feelings of our own
childhood and often we respond to them unconsciously
and without thinking.”
It is not easy to understand others but you when you are
stressed, when you are under pressure. In the situation
where you so stressed, if there’s a stimulus that triggers
your violent response, it is hard to lose your reason and
the control over your anger.

“we have to make this unconscious behaviour conscious.
We need to stop acting unconsciously towards our
children. We need to bring it into the life for we are
damaging our children in ways that you could never
imagine.”
When you are under pressure, it is hard to be conscious
of your own action. You lose the ability to see and stop
what you're doing. If you discipline the children out of
anger, it has way more harmful effects on them than you
imagined. Parental anger only causes the children to
develop an aggressive, fearful, angry personality.

Quotation/Visual Feature How it Sheds Light on My Essential Question

 “When you use anger to control a child like a dog with
an electric fence, they register the shock in their body.
You set them on the path to obeying fear. There will be
things in their life that they will not examine. you cut off
possibilities for them forever.”
“we have to know how harmful parental anger is to
young children because recognizing is the first step to
transforming it”
Parents could unintentionally damage their kids, leaving a
deep, long-lasting, irrevocable wound or scars on them by
trying to control them using fear and discipline them with
anger. Fears could trigger them anxieties or fight or flight
response.
Parental anger scares the children and it can even lead to
traumatic childhood experiences that the children are left
on their own to figure out and heal from. Every parent
gets angry at their children, but it is their choice whether
to behave violently to their child, damaging and hurting
them. The children are not to blame; therefore, they
need to be responsible for their violent actions by
recognizing, admitting, apologizing and willing to make
sure it never happens again.
