Dangers of poor parental potential in society

This study examined predictors for parents’ potential for abusing their children. Two
hundred and thirteen Jewish and Arab parents of children up to 6 years of age
completed six questionnaires assessing child-abuse potential, childhood history of
abuse/neglect, attachment style, emotional control, perceived stress, and cognitive
appraisal of parenthood. Results indicated that parents who experienced childhood
abuse and neglect scored significantly higher in child-abuse potential than parents
without a history of abuse or neglect. A Structural Equation Model indicated that
anxious and avoidant attachment mediated the experiences of abuse and neglect in
childhood and emotional control; whereas emotional control deficits mediated the
relationship between insecure attachment and parenthood as challenge vs. threat,
leading to greater child-abuse potential. Clinical implications were discussed.
Parenting style is a psychological construct that describes how parents raise their
children.This article examines several parenting techniques used by families.
Parenting techniques are is gaining importance in modern society. This research
shows different strategies parents take in raising their children and numerous
problems with modern parenting. Core Parenting style has been found to be the
cause of most adolescent mental health problems. Most parents they use different
parenting styles based on their culture and societal demands. That describes it
parenting styles and how they affect children's development. Influence of
socioeconomic class on Parenting style is also examined in the study. The results of
this study are (1) the parenting style can be meant as an overall structure that
represents the general emotional environment between parent and child; (2)
Different civilizations have different parenting behaviors and influences; (3) Parent-
child relationships allow children to develop physically, emotionally and socially. The
The conclusion is that parenting patterns have a great influence on the growth and
development of children. Family parenting has an impact on children's social and
emotional development.

introduction
Ineffective parenting is often associated with acting out or bad behavior (Hossain et
al., 2015).Inadequate parenting is probably the result of insufficient cooperation
between child and parent satisfy needs and desires and create a common ground for
both. Lack of parenting skills a techniques will have a negative effect depending on
the age of the child. Minor mental health problems it can have a long-term impact
on their life prospects. Behavioral disorders in early childhood are the most
widespread mental health problem affecting 5-10% of young children (Angold A,
Costello EJ.,2001.). A parent's role in a child's life is critical and poor parenting
practices and skills can lead to bad behavior. Negative parenting behavior, lack of
attention to children's needs or a larger family dysfunction resulting from parents'
psychological problems. When a child is worried, aggressive, hostile, antisocial,
demanding, dependent, undisciplined and develops hate target, negative behavior
is considered. Parental responses to excessive control with directives, warning of
misbehavior, and warnings result in these bad behaviors. Minors may experience
several negative feelings due to these activities, including anxiety and distress.
Quality of relationships between parents and children significantly affects adolescent
developmental outcomes, especially mental health (Sowski et al.,2014).
Parenthood, according to Cleaner Casiellino Michenery and Terry Villarcial [2005], is
a term that includes a range of behaviors that occur throughout life in reactions
between organisms that are usually the same but belong to different cohorts. Poor
parenting skills can have an impact on a child in trauma. According to trauma
studies, there is a link between the adjustment of parents and children functioning
and sometimes the intergenerational influence of traumatic events. Impact on
Traumatic experiences on children have been shown to be mediated by the effect on
parents
children (Gewirtz, 2009). Mental health problems affect the majority of today's
minors. A few of them at the moment they were reported to have committed
suicide. Suicide among teenagers remains significant problem (The problem of
suicide among teenagers) (2020, 27 August). For children and adolescents,suicide is
the second leading cause of death. One of the main reasons for the growing number
suicide is depression (Hidalgo, et al., 2020). According to the World Health
Organization depression has just surpassed diabetes as the leading cause of disability
worldwide.
According to the US SPCC, bad parenting makes a child more prone to crime
behaviour. Children who have been neglected or who have been abused are more
likely be charged with juvenile delinquency. Failure to thrive and poor physical and
mental growth a development are some prevalent consequences of poor parenting.
Therefore, the aim of this study was to see how poor parenting skills affect the
mental health of children and adolescents.The aim of this study is to raise awareness
of the negative consequences of poor parenting skills children and adolescents. This
study aims to determine the impact of poor parenting skills on mental health of
children and adolescents. This research seeks to better understand how depression
affects children and adolescents. This study examines the deteriorating influence of
the poor parenting skills on the mental health of children and adolescents. This study
aims to answer the following questions: How do poor parenting skills affect the
mental health of children and adolescents? What are they like consequences of poor
parenting skills? What impact does inadequate parenting have on a child?
behaviour? Good parenting prepares children to meet the demands of a particular
culture or subculture which live. However, we can draw some conclusions about the
components of good parenting this would be true in most contexts. We can go a long
way in understanding effective parenting styles which prepare children for social
gatherings. Darling and Steinberg (1993) defined parenting styles as the overall
climate of parent-child interactions. It is a kind of effective context that sets the tone
parent-child interaction. Parenting style is a determining factor in a child's
development. Parental acceptance/willingness (also referred to as parental warmth
or support) refers to “the extent to which parents intentionally promote
individuality, self-regulation, and self-control enforcement by being attuned,
supportive and accommodating to children's special needs and requirements"
(Baumrind, 1991). Parental demandingness (also referred to as behavioral control)
refers to “parents' demands on children to integrate into the family unit through
their maturity demands, supervision, disciplinary efforts and a willingness to
confront a child who does not obey”(Baumrind, 1991).Children of permissive parents
were very immature. They had trouble with their control impulses and were very
disobedient and rebellious when asked to do something they disagreed with their
current desires. They were overly demanding and dependent on adults and it
showed less persistence in completing tasks in preschool than children whose
parents controlled themselves more (Mustafa Fazli, 2019). The link between
parenting and dependent, underachieving behavior was particularly strong strong for
boys (Berk, 1998). Subsequent research showed that the worst developmental
outcomes were associated with a careless, uninvolved parenting style (Mustafa Fazli,
2019). Children of careless parents are notable for behavioral problems such as
aggression and frequent tantrums at age three. They tend to become hostile and
antisocial in adolescence (Sigelman, 1999).

Harsh or abusive parenting in the broader literature includes emotional, sexual, and
physical abuse and neglect and a range of educational practices that negatively
affect child development and comfort. Abusive parenting can be active, such as
stalking or assaulting the child passive, through neglecting or ignoring the child
(Browne, Davies, & Stratton, 1998).Poor parenting can cause mental disorders in a
child (American SPCC, 2014). This happens especially if the child grows up in a family
where there is a lot of physical or emotional abuse. This also happens when a child
suffers from neglect in childhood. Such children may be in trouble in making friends
and trusting people because it is easier for them to push people away than to open
up. Permissive parenting often leads to children who have low levels of happiness
and self-regulation (Mustafa Fazli, 2019). These children are more likely to have
problems with authority and have tendencies they have bad results in school. A
relaxed parenting style is nurturing and accepting, but it is it avoids making demands
or imposing controls of any kind. Permissive parents allow children to do any
decision of their own at an age when they are not capable of it (Mustafa Fazli, 2019).
He doesn't have to learn good manners or do any chores. Although some permissive
parents truly believe that this style of raising children is the best, many others lack
confidence in their abilities influence their child's behavior and are disorganized and
ineffective in managing their household (Berk, 1998). Children with permissive
parents tend to have high self-esteem and good social skills but they are more prone
to problem behavior. It is difficult for them to accept responsibility (Mustafa Fazli,
2019). Authoritative parenting styles tend to lead to children who are happy,
capable, and successful (Mustafa Fazli, 2019). Authoritative parenting without
physical punishment produces the most positive results and least problems for
today's children. Children who were gathered in authoritative homes score higher on
various competencies, social development, self-perception, and mental health than
those raised in authoritarian, permissive, or neglectful homes (Joseph M.V., John J.,
2008). This applies not only in childhood, but also in the period of adolescence, as as
evidenced by higher academic achievement, psychological development and less
behavior problems (Ballantine, 2001). (Simons, Whitbeck, Conger, & Melby, 1990)
makes an important distinction between constructive (supportive positive) and
destructive (harshly negative) parental behavior, social learning and exchange
model. Although now they no longer provided evidence of a specific effect optimistic
and unfavorable parenting on child melancholy, they found that parental melancholy
changed to associated with the use of harsher and poorer parenting practices; but
not now upbeat, supportive – tremendous parenting. This shows that parental
melancholy can be greater strongly associated with excessive stages of harsh and
poor parenting than with low stages supportive – overwhelming parenting behavior
(J Clin Child Adolesc Psychol., 2006). Depression and low self-esteem can also be
caused by poor parenting (American SPCC, 2014). A child who is never allowed to
make decisions, who is constantly criticized, belittled, and who goes likely to have
low self-esteem through abuse. It gets worse when the baby is having intercourse
abuse as a child. Such forms of abuse are also known to make children more prone
to violence behaviour. Children exposed to abuse and violence are likely to become
violent. Grow believing that violence is the only way to solve problems. A recent
study of nearly 10,000 adults found that half of those who experienced major
psychiatric disorders, including major depressive disorder, reported symptoms
before the age of 14 years (Danielle H. Dallaire et al., 2006). Kessler and colleagues
reported that many people who later experiencing major depressive episodes often
report initially asymptomatic symptoms such as mild sadness or shyness (J Clin Child
Adolescent Psychol., 2006). These results highlight the need researchers to evaluate
the precursor and family conditions that may induce and maintain childhood
Depression.
To determine the negative effects of bad parenting, a qualitative research
methodology was used with a a case study approach was used with primary data
obtained through in-depth interviews with students. In general, qualitative research
methodology is used when researchers are to investigate questions of why and how.
Data were collected from (n=6) respondents from the city of Toledo, Cebu,
Philippines. The researcher purposively selected three (3) residents of the city of
Toledo between the ages of 6-12 years (CATEGORY A) and three (3) aged 13-19
(CATEGORY B). Respondents she voluntarily participated in the study and agreed to
the interview procedure. Plus they were verbally informed that they have the right
to withdraw from the study at any time with any adverse effect aftermath. The
researcher ensured the anonymity and confidentiality of the respondents answers.
Finally, the researcher asked their parents for permission to interview their child and
they he agreed.
Parenting is undoubtedly one of the hardest jobs. It can be rewarding, frustrating,
exciting and challenging all at the same time.

As a parent, you may question every day whether you are making the right decisions,
whether your children will be okay, and what you could have done differently.

Parenting can be uncharted territory. You can try to emulate your upbringing and
apply it to how you raise your children.
Teaching your children the values and beliefs you learned may be important to you,
but it may be difficult to find a parenting style that also incorporates the ways the
world has changed since you were a child.

Every parent is different and most parents tend to experiment with different
parenting styles. Some parents may be lax and indulgent, while others may be strict
or overprotective. One family may value freedom of expression, while another
focuses on creating a structure with rules.

However, it is important to understand how negative parenting styles can harm your
child's emotional, social and physical well-being.
Parenting can seem like a personal thing. It is a parent's right to decide how to raise
their child.

However, scientists consider it to be the most important public health problem

facing our society1.

Bad parenting has a serious impact not only on the child, but also on society as a
whole.

Physically, bad parenting, such as child abuse, including physical abuse, emotional
abuse, or emotional neglect, can harm a child or put them in dangerous situations.

Psychologically, poor parenting skills lead to children's development2 and mental

health problems3.

Dysfunctional parenting can cause two main types of mental health problems:
internalizing problems such as depression, anxiety or personality disorders, and
externalizing problems such as aggression and violence.

Studies show that poor parenting, especially aggressive punishment, is one of the
biggest causes of externalizing behavior that leads to juvenile delinquency4.

A bad childhood can lead to crime, drug addiction or alcoholism in adulthood. It can
also lead to teenage pregnancy, substance abuse, truancy, dropping out of school1
and a cycle of abuse of their own children5.

Knowing how to recognize and prevent ineffective parenting is no longer just a

personal matter or a difference in parenting philosophy.

The long-term effects of poor parenting on society can be very serious. They can
affect the safety and stability of the community.

First, a parent can be unfairly judged by their behavior alone, because parental
behavior does not always reflect their intent.
Most of us didn't learn how to be a good parent in school. As new parents, we
often do what we know, either from our own experience or from watching or
listening to others.
Even with the best intentions, parents can make mistakes. Being uninformed and
making mistakes does not necessarily mean they are bad parents.
Second, a child's behavior or success/failure alone cannot represent the quality of
parenting because there are many factors that can influence a child.

Children may thrive despite poor parenting, while others may falter or misbehave
even with good parenting.

It is not uncommon for miserable parents to take credit for good results when their
children succeed despite terrible parenting. They justify their bad parenting by
how well their children are doing behaviorally, financially or professionally. They
often ignore the psychological scars they leave on the children. This is unfair to the
children.
On the other hand, some children do not succeed in life, even if they have good
parents, because other factors can also have an adverse effect on development.
Parents are not in control of everything in their children's lives, even if they try to
be.

Psychologists Unnever et al. defined bad parenting that could cause delinquency as
Failure to observe or monitor the child's behavior ,Failure to recognize deviant
behavior when it occurs, a Inconstant and excessive punishment of deviant
behavior ,Unnever's definition focuses on identifying parenting styles that may
lead to delinquent behavior.

Bad parenting can lead to crime. But criminal behavior is not the only negative
result of a bad father or mother.

Therefore, we need a more comprehensive definition.

Bad parenting occurs when a parent puts their own interests ahead of their
children's best interests.

Bad parents make decisions that are not in the best interest of their children.

It doesn't mean you have to constantly put your child's needs above your own to
be a good parent. This is also not in the best interest of the child.

In airplane emergencies, parents should first put on their own oxygen masks
before helping their children. This is in the best interest of their children.

As parents, taking care of your own mental health is also in your child's best
interest, and doing so in itself is not bad parenting.
In the US, approximately 16% of children experience some form of abuse, including
physical, emotional and sexual abuse7.
18% of parents have a permissive parenting style that corresponds to the clinical
definition of bad parenting8.
Harsh parenting is associated with lower self-control and a higher aggressive
attitude in children9. Adolescents who have less self-control and stronger
aggressive attitudes are 26.5 times more likely to commit delinquency than those
who do not have self-control problems and do not hold aggressive attitudes10.
Domestic violence, physical violence, sexual abuse, excessive punishment of a child
or neglect of basic needs are obvious bad parenting traits. In addition, here are 7
signs of bad parenting.
Authoritarian parents demand that children obey without question. Parents who
use an authoritarian parenting style are clearly ineffective parents, even though
they may try to masquerade as tough parents or disciplined parents.

While we sometimes need children to listen and do exactly what we say, forcing a
child to blindly follow every command robs them of the ability to think critically
and distinguish right from wrong.

Good parents want their children to develop sound judgment so that they can
make good decisions even without their parents.

This means that when a parent makes a mistake, the child should be able to
respectfully point out the bad choices and not blindly follow them.

Parents who demand that their children listen and agree no matter what will do
their children more harm than good.

Discipline means to teach. It does not mean to punish. Punishment is not the only
way to teach.

Using punishment as a disciplinary measure is lazy parenting. Some parents use

punishment indiscriminately because it is easy to stop negative behavior in the
moment.

First, it teaches the child how to use intimidation to get what he wants. These
children will adopt a repressive or violent attitude. They learn that aggression is an
acceptable solution to problems.

Studies have found that children with punitive parents are more likely to be
involved in school bullying as aggressors, victims, or both.

Second, parents who punish often do so out of anger. They set a bad example of
emotional dysregulation to their child instead of teaching them how to self-
regulate.
Adolescents with an aggressive attitude and a lack of self-regulation direct their
negative feelings towards others through hostile behavior13. These juveniles are
particularly likely to become involved in criminal activity6.

Many parents argue that the use of punishment to discipline is modeled after
important real-world lessons—if you break the law, you will be punished and sent
to prison.

The problem is that prison may deter crime or motivate criminals to try harder to
avoid being caught, but it doesn't make them better people.

In a similar vein, punishment may stop bad behavior for the time being, but it does
not teach proper self-control or inspire children to become better people in the
long run. Instead, the punishment makes them angry and hateful.

Applying ordinary punishments is not in the best interest of children. Yet many
parents refuse to give it up, even though there are better, more positive parenting
styles.

These parents choose comfort and relief from anger (their own interests) over
spending time and effort teaching good behavior (the child's best interest).
Controlling parents can take many forms. Not all of them are bad.

Some controlling parents are just anxious parents. They are overprotective and
want to provide the best for their children, always and without fail. They have the
best intentions in their hearts, but use it in the wrong way because they don't
know better. They are not bad parents.

However, some controlling parents are strict parents. They are stiff and inflexible.
They have a strong desire (apart from their children's well-being) to control their
children. There is an obvious lack of empathy in them. The best interests of their
children are not the concern of these parents.

The children of these parents with bad intentions tend to be unhappy14. They
suffer more often from psychological disorders such as depression or anxiety15,16.

This has lasting consequences on the child's self-esteem17. They tend to have low
self-confidence when making decisions.

Children with parents who practice permissive or uninvolved parenting are more
likely to commit delinquency.

Uninvolved parents do not pay attention to their children's behavior or activities.

They do not set limits or boundaries. If they do, they don't enforce consequences.
They have little or no discipline.

These parents also show no interest in their child's schoolwork or performance.

Children raised with this parenting style typically have the worst results of the four
parenting styles.Life can be hard, especially these days. The parenting journey is
not easy. We knew it from the beginning. I don't blame parents who are looking
for new ways to make life easier during difficult times.However, parents who
always choose what is easier over what is better do not think about what is best
for their children.One such example is how to handle toddler tantrums during the
terrible twos.Toddler tantrums are the result of big, out-of-control emotions when
toddlers have unmet needs.Good parents help their children learn to regulate
themselves. Emotional regulation is a big key to a child's future success.
Unfortunately, some parents only care about stopping the occurrence at all costs.
They use time-out, spanking, and punishment to suppress tantrums instead of
providing emotional support. They choose what seems easier over what is better.
Parenting shortcuts like this almost always backfire in the long run. Even if you can
stop the tantrums, the child will not yet learn to regulate himself properly.These
children may develop antisocial behavior problems20 and have poor school
results.

Good parents set a good example by doing things the right way, even if it's not the
easy way.Have you ever seen a parent of a successful adult modestly deny
responsibility for how well their child was doing? But when a child doesn't turn out
so well, their parents are often quick to deny any responsibility for any atrocities
their child has committed. Other parents may also jump to their defense.
Our society tends to celebrate parents for their child's success and let them down
easily for their child's downfall.
Although parenting is not the only factor that affects how a child turns out, it does
matter.
Decades of research have shown how dysfunctional parenting can have a lasting
negative impact on a child's development and how the child turns out.
A child is born into this world with no rights and no choice in what environment
they are brought up in. When things go well, parents like to get credits.
Yet when things go wrong, unfit parents completely wash their hands of it.
It does not mean that we should blame the parents for everything that goes wrong
in a child's life. But more often parents share some responsibilities in some way. A
responsible parent will accept their share and make things right.

Physical abuse, neglect, emotional abuse, and sexual abuse are the most serious and
damaging traits of behavior that most of us equate with bad parenting. These are
things that should be addressed immediately with professional help.

But in addition to child abuse and neglect, there are also things parents can do or say
that can, even unintentionally, lead to adverse consequences for a child. Realizing if
you're doing these things can help you feel better about your parenting.

An honest assessment of your parenting style is not always an easy task. Therefore,
it is important to first separate the behavior from the person.
Calling yourself or someone else a "bad parent" is not something to jump to based
on a difference in belief or parenting style. It's also important to remember that
there's a difference between having a bad moment and being a bad parent.

Losing your temper once in a while is not the same as telling your child, “I'm smart
and you're stupid” or “I'm right, you're wrong, and there's nothing you can do about
it. "

Although some people disagree on what constitutes "good" or "bad" parenting, most
parents have both positive and negative parenting traits.

When you consider the extremes, it's easy to see less than desirable parenting
behavior.

On the one hand, you have an uninvolved parent who is neglectful and unresponsive
to their child's needs beyond basic shelter, food, and clothing.

While not as harmful as a careless style, an overinvolved parent (aka the helicopter
parent) can also do more harm than good by taking control of decisions and doing
too much for their child, preventing them from learning by doing.

According to Sharron Frederick, LCSW, a psychotherapist at Clarity Health Solutions,

children who have little or no discipline are left to fend for themselves, which can
result in injury and also creates a child who doesn't understand boundaries.

"Children look to their parents to define what the boundaries are and what the
consequences are if the child crosses them," she says.

Unlike parents who enforce little or no discipline, Frederick says parents who
practice strict or rigid discipline (aka authoritarian parenting) don't allow their child
to explore their world, which often leads to the child becoming fearful, anxious or
rebelliousness.

"Ignoring a child is telling them that your love is conditional," says Frederick.
Withdrawing affection because a child does not do as told causes similar damage.

"These types of behaviors can cause a child to have low self-esteem and low self-
confidence, which can lead to a child not expressing their wants and needs," she
says.

Frederick says that over time, this can lead to codependency, in which the child
adapts to how he feels the person wants him to act. "A lot of times it can lead to
relationships that are abusive," she adds.
Whether in public or in private, children who are constantly shy can develop
problems with perfectionism and a fear of failure. This can lead to depression or
anxiety.

Children without positive parenting are more at risk of their own relationship
problems, depression, anxiety, and aggression, among other negative consequences.

The effects below are the result of ongoing patterns of negative behavior. Yelling at
your toddler for breaking your favorite coffee mug is not the same as a consistent
pattern of criticism or physical violence.

A parenting mistake that can have lasting consequences is the overuse of negative
labels and shaming.

"Consistent use of negative labels, such as name-calling, profoundly affects a child's

sense of self and contributes to long-term negative self-narratives and self-fulfilling
prophecies," says psychotherapist Dana Dorfman, PhD.

According to her, shame is a powerful and paralyzing emotion that burrows deep
into the psyche and sense of self. Because of its power, Dorfman says many people,
including parents, invoke it to discourage negative behavior or motivate positive
behavior.

But when shaming and negative labeling become common tactics, Dorfman says,
children then begin to internalize and embody these negative messages.

"They learn to talk to themselves the way they've been talked to — they hold on to
negative feelings and become harshly self-critical," she explains.

In the long run, people with negative self-concepts often seek relationships that
reinforce the messages they are used to hearing.

According to Frederick, children who experience overly rigid or strict discipline may
have problems controlling others, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and other anxious
behaviors, along with a belief that the world is dangerous.

At the other end of the spectrum is the rebellious child who fights with his parents,
breaks rules, and engages in negative behaviors.

According to a 2014 study, harsh parenting that includes verbal or physical threats,
frequent yelling, and hitting, along with immediate negative consequences for
specific behaviors, can lead to children having emotional and behavioral problems
such as aggression and compliance instructions at school. Source

Although negative parenting behavior can put children at risk, it is not the only factor
that determines outcomes.
Even parents with a positive discipline and interaction style may have children who
struggle with behavioral or emotional problems. Just like a single bad day doesn't
make you a bad parent, doing the best you can doesn't mean your child will never
struggle or have problems. And that's okay.
Children who grow up in families dealing with abuse are much more likely to suffer
from psychological disorders, according to a study published in the journal Child
Development. Although no mental disorder stood out as particularly prevalent, these
children were at greater risk for disorders of all types. In addition, the study found
that family relationships, including those between siblings, were not as warm and
loving as in other families.

Parenting in Human Development asserts that "a child's brain grows altered when
the parent's behavior does not create a loving, supportive environment" "The child's
brain is actually programmed with dysfunctional, irrational, and destructive patterns
of behavior, which sets the stage for ongoing problems throughout that child's life ."

This is important because, according to Kleban, the hippocampus is the part of the
brain that is responsible for memory, stress management, learning and other
cognitive functions. However, the serious implications of this finding become
apparent only when we translate scientific jargon into practical implications.

No mom and dad are perfect. As a parent, it is natural for you to make mistakes big
and small while raising your child. Making mistakes is part and parcel of parenting,
and it's unlikely to have any lasting impact on your child as long as you try your best
not to repeat them. However, consistent bad parenting can have a negative effect on
a child in childhood and beyond. These children are always at a disadvantage.
Parents often underestimate the influences they are likely to have on their children.
Children who are constantly exposed to irresponsible parenting are more prone to
inappropriate behavior. Poor supervision, physical punishment, and inconsistent
disciplinary approaches are attributes of poor parenting that can negatively affect
your child, regardless of socioeconomic status and ethnicity. Some of the effects of
poor parenting include:
A poor parenting style is likely to have a direct impact on your child's self-esteem as
well as vulnerability to depression. If you are too controlling, your child will have a
higher risk of depression and will also not see themselves positively. In such cases,
your child will show signs of depression and will also have negative views about his
family relationships.
Neglecting your child or failing to meet their basic needs is likely to have a negative
impact on their academic performance. Early neglect is harmful to your child
because it prevents him from forming social relationships at school and learning.
Bad behavior or acting out is often associated with ineffective parenting. Bad
parenting can directly or indirectly affect your child's anti-social behavior such as
lying, stealing and fighting.
In the beginning as a parent, you will probably make few mistakes, but it is important
to learn from your mistakes and correct them. If you can't be the ideal parent, you
must strive to be the ideal dad or mom whenever possible. There are countless
resources where you can tap into great parenting advice to help you deal with any
problem you may encounter. Life as a parent is a continuous learning process; you
need to discover the right parenting style that works best for your child.
As Klebanov noted, parenting (or the lack of it) has an impact on both a child's brain
development and their ability to learn. Numerous studies have also shown that
children who experience physical punishment, including spanking, perform worse on
tests of IQ and other cognitive abilities.
Our difficulties in our careers are often rooted in childhood issues. Stunted cognitive
development caused by substandard parenting can of course lead to insufficient
education, which in itself limits a person's professional options.
More than most of us think, parental love and attention are extremely important.
According to research, co-sleeping, breastfeeding, physical affection and quick
responses to babies' cries help young people develop into fully morally developed
people, including a developed sense of empathy and moral sensitivity to others.
When a child is raised violently, harmful neurological connections are made.
(According to Klebanov, abusive parenting includes both severe trauma and "less
serious" behaviors such as beatings and slaps.) In particular, the child's brain is
overloaded with stress, causing stress response mechanisms to malfunction and
irrational behaviors such as hypervigilance, aggression toward others and
revictimization.
According to Klebanov, childhood abuse by parents can cause trauma that can result
in various mental health problems. Additionally, a number of studies have found a
strong link between childhood trauma and mental illness.
According to studies, early experiences of resisters increase the likelihood of
developing addictive habits. A victim's substance abuse may result from parental
substance use as well as a need to numb the agony of childhood abuse. Children of
drug addicts often repeat the behavior of their parents.
The relationship between a child and his parents serves as the basis for all future
relationships of that child. Infants and young children need to experience love and
positive relational behaviors from their primary caregivers in order to maintain
relationships optimally throughout life. If these things are not present, children can
grow up to be overly needy or clingy, overly critical, withdrawn, unreliable,
inconsiderate, and more when they re-enter the first relationship they experienced.

Childhood trauma has been shown to cause many physical diseases and disorders,
including cancer, severe obesity, coronary heart disease, chronic lung disease,
skeletal fractures, and liver disease. It can lead to accelerated aging and
inflammation, and is also associated with chemical sensitivities and allergies,
autoimmune diseases, and osteoarthritis.

Children who have parents who are strict about money and fear that they won't
have enough (whether due to real-life circumstances or fear-driven frugality) grow
up in a restricted and stressful environment, which can affect the child's standing
among peers, their ability to focus on their studies and anxiety levels.

Parenting impacts military, health, and prison spending: Although Klebanov has
already mentioned these negative parenting effects, they should be mentioned
separately because of the significant impact they have on spending (both public and
private).
In addition, children who themselves have been directly abused are much more
likely than their peers to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), according
to a study published in the journal Child Abuse & Neglect. This was especially true for
sexual abuse, but it is also a concern for other forms of child abuse.

Neglecting a child or failing to meet their basic human needs can have a dramatic
effect on school performance, according to a study published in the journal Child
Abuse & Neglect. The study found that early neglect in particular is very damaging to
children, preventing them from forming social relationships at school and learning at
the same rate as their peers. The study found that neglect was just as damaging to
school performance as outright abuse.

Additionally, a study published in the journal Demography found that frequent

moves and uprooting a child resulted in poor school performance. Although frequent
movements are not always a factor that parents can control, it is important to
consider the effect on the child before they make several movements.

According to a study published in the Journal of Adolescent Research, parenting style

can have a direct effect on a child's self-esteem and vulnerability to depression. A
study found that if parents are extremely controlling, children are at greater risk of
depression and are not seen as positively.

Another study published in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry found that
children who were victims of sexual abuse at home had much lower self-esteem
than their peers. They also showed more signs of depression and had negative views
of their family relationships.
Exposing children to a community where significant violence occurs can result in
internalized violence and behavioral problems in children, according to a study
published in the American Journal of Orthopsychiatry. The study also found that if
children were victims of community violence or violence at home, they were more
likely to display violent behavior in preschool settings.

A study published in the Journal of Family Violence found that children who
witnessed and experienced domestic violence were more likely to suffer from
internalized anger and conduct problems than their peers. This can lead to a "cycle
of abuse" in which children grow up to abuse others in the same way they were
abused.

When children fail to thrive in infancy and early childhood, they typically show
slower-than-normal growth, delayed mental development, and signs of malnutrition.
An article published in the American Journal of Orthopsychiatry found that failure to
thrive is directly related to parental neglect. Children were not getting enough
nutrition to grow at the same rate as their peers.
Another cause of failure may be medical abuse in children, according to a study
published in the journal Pediatrics. Medical child abuse refers to parents subjecting
children to unnecessary medical procedures and treatments. The study found that
failure to thrive can be a sign that this type of abuse is occurring.

A study published in the International Journal of Child, Youth, & Family Studies found
that children who were neglected by their parents were more likely to be prosecuted
for juvenile delinquency. The study suggested further research into the exact
relationship between parental neglect and juvenile delinquency.

Another study published in the journal Behavioral Sciences & the Law found that if
mothers were juvenile delinquents, they were much more likely to give birth to
children who had antisocial behavior and were prone to getting into trouble with the
law themselves. The study suggested that it could also be related to parental
substance abuse.

According to a study published in the American Journal of Orthopsychiatry, boys

whose parents exhibited violent behavior were more likely to have problems with
social adjustment in the school environment. Although the boys themselves were
not directly abused, they showed many of the same signs of social maladjustment as
children who are victims of abuse.

Another study published in the Merrill-Palmer Quarterly found that children who
had hostile and controlling parents were more likely to be socially awkward and
disliked by their peers.

It cannot be denied that bad parenting practices such as neglect, abuse and exposing
children to violence can affect a child's behavior and development. In many cases,
getting help can reduce some of these effects. If you suspect a child is being abused
or neglected, contact your state's Department of Child Protective Services.

Parenting is an ongoing process and is often challenging. If you've struggled because

of less-than-ideal examples from your own parents, it can be even harder. But you
can work to overcome the negative messages you've been taught and build a healthy
relationship with your own children.

Your own parents may not have been good role models, but you can find support
and positive encouragement from other parents to forge your own parenting
journey.

If you find yourself falling into bad parenting habits more often than you'd like,
remember that you are capable of making changes.

Reworking your parenting style can take patience, honesty, and a lot of hard work.
The good news is that it's never too late to start. Any positive change you make can
lead to a better outcome for your child. Here are some tips to help you focus on the
positive.
We all want to be heard. And even if we don't always agree with what others have to
say, Frederick says we all need someone to listen.

When it comes to your kids, she says to listen to their concerns and frustrations,
validate their feelings, and explain that they have a right to be upset—but not to act
out (like throwing crayons across the room). Instead, give them alternatives for
different emotions.

When using discipline, Frederick says it's important to provide consequences that
teach your child a positive lesson. "Hitting a child doesn't teach them anything about
consequences and can result in resentment and anger, along with the child going to
school and hitting other kids," she says.

Instead, use a reward chart or let them earn time for something they enjoy. When
you take something away, don't take it for a week, instead take it for an afternoon.
Make sure the consequence is appropriate for the behavior you are correcting.

"If parents want to 'label,' they should make sure they're labeling behavior, not
character," says Dorfman. For example, when a child is acting out, remind them that
it is the bully's behavior instead of saying, “YOU ARE the bully.

We all get mad at our kids, but Frederick says ignoring them just confuses the kid.
"Explain that you're angry, and even though you're angry at them, you still love
them," she explains.

If you need a moment, try giving them a timeout (1 minute for each age they are)
and calm down, collect your thoughts and feelings.

Showing love and affection is more than just telling your child you love them. It also
comes from supporting and accepting your child, being physically affectionate and
spending quality time together.

Life is messy, so let your kids explore creativity and make mistakes without shaming
or criticizing them. When he makes a mistake, ask your child, "What could you have
done differently?"

Use your own mistakes as an opportunity to show them that learning never ends and
that we can all have our bad days. Admitting you made a mistake, apologizing and
trying to improve is good for everyone.

Being a parent is emotionally demanding. It is also a huge responsibility that requires

patience, consistency, love, compassion and understanding.

We all have days when we worry about our parenting decisions. We love our
children so much, it's only natural that we want only the best for them.
Poor parenting can lead to severe neglect of disabled children.
If people don't care enough about their children and don't want to spend enough
time with them, it's likely that those children won't feel valued at all.

Additionally, if parents do not support them in important tasks such as homework

and other things that children need to take care of, it is likely that these children may
suffer from serious other problems due to neglect.

Due to bad upbringing, children can also suffer from serious psychological problems.

Since children have not yet developed a stable character, they are very vulnerable to
neglect or other consequences of poor parenting.

These children may in turn develop mental health problems such as depression as
they may feel quite lost in life due to a lack of support from their parents, especially
if they also have other problems at school or in other parts of their daily lives.

Bad parenting can also cause serious problems at school.

For example, if children have problems at school because of bullying, they may not
get the support and advice they need from their parents to fight back, and they may
suffer for quite a long time.
If children suffer from bad parenting, they are more likely to get poor grades and not
be able to go to college, which can translate into poor job opportunities.

Bad parenting can also lead to low levels of education in general, not only in terms of
grades but also in several other areas of life.
This could mean that children may not learn how to fix things at home or how to
proceed and solve certain everyday problems.

Not learning these things can lead to serious problems once these children become
adults, as they can often feel lost and not ready to solve their problems on their own.

Bad parenting can also lead to financial problems not only for the parents
themselves, but also for their children.

For example, if you grow up in a household where your parents regularly have
financial problems, it is likely that you will adopt their behavior as an adult and
behave similarly.

Studies have shown that children are strongly influenced by their parents.
This also applies to financial topics.

Worse, parents with financial problems also won't be able to teach their children
how to be financially responsible, and their children may not learn otherwise.

If children never learn to be dependable from their parents, they may have
significant difficulty behaving in a dependable manner once they grow up.
However, this unreliability can lead to several problems in their daily life, including
poorer job opportunities and several other problems, because reliability is an
essential characteristic of success in several parts of life.
Another problem with bad parenting is that it increases the risk of their children
using certain substances.

If children feel neglected and worthless, they may associate with friends instead of
their parents for much of their childhood.

If these friends are taking drugs, it is likely that due to peer pressure, other children
may follow the same path.

This in turn can lead to drug addiction from a relatively early age, making it difficult
for these children to clean up.
Due to poor parenting and the resulting lack of education, children may also suffer
increased chances of poor job opportunities and unemployment.

Unemployment, in turn, can lead to several other problems, including frustration

and drug abuse.
In extreme cases, poor parenting can even lead to homelessness in their children
later in life.
If people become unemployed, they may not be able to pay their rent and end up
homeless on the streets.

This is especially true in countries where there is no or only insufficient social

security.

Once unemployed in these countries, people can easily slide into homelessness and
the resulting adverse consequences.

In general, children who are neglected or abused by their parents can develop a
rather negative attitude towards life due to bad childhood memories.

However, a negative attitude towards life leads to several other problems, including
mental health problems.

Bad upbringing can therefore lead to serious problems not only in childhood, but
also in the later stages of these children's lives.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Psychologists have long advocated the importance of family processes in child
development (Ogbu, 1981; Bronfenbrenner, 1979; Belsky, Steinberg & Draper, 1991).
This parenting style which includes parent-child interaction, parent-child articulatory
activities, and parent involvement in these activities children's education, according
to them, is essential in the socialization and functioning of children psychologists
(Smetana, 2017). The social reality of adults has consequences for their upbringing of
children attitudes and behavior of parents (Mamat et al., 2015). Parenting skills are a
critical risk factor for child violence within and between families young people, which
is increasingly recognized as a major public health concern and as a problem
(Gardner et al., 2013). Parents' knowledge of child development has often been
referred to as a factor influencing child development outcomes (Matthew R Sanders,
Ph.D., Alina Morawska, Ph.D., 2014). Adolescent behavior is largely shaped and
molded by their parents (Sarwar et al., 2016). In addition, poor parenting skills have
an adverse effect on a child's mental health. Childhood mental health problems can
have a long-term impact on a child's life chances. The most common mental a health
problem in early childhood are behavioral disorders, which affect 5-10% of children
(Angold A, Costello E, 2001)
