Research suggests that many young people feel that their parents are out of control, leading to many family disputes. The impact of everyday conflicts between parents on their children's behaviour and mental health may lead children to better understand problems in relationships and the nature of conflicts themselves, researchers have found. With regard to relationship problems, children who witness constant quarrels or discord between parents and are aware of a possible separation from the family system may be particularly affected.
Children in divorced families have more externalising problems such as behavioural problems, delinquency and impulsive behaviour than children in two-parent families. For example, when family dynamics change in a divorced parent, children can feel guilty, neglected, and unloved, which can cause them to lose focus at school. As dysfunctional family problems tend to persist longer, children do not get their former needs back, and negative or pathological parental behaviors tend to dominate their adult lives .
Common problems that affect children's academic performance include changing family relationships, economic instability, and sibling bullying. Such problems are more common in times of change in the family, such as the death of a Grandparent or another family member, a new child or move. Changes in family relationships can also involve a divorce of one parent or a mixture of two families.
Family problems can be mild or severe, the result of behavioural or mental health problems or family stress events. They can represent major changes in family dynamics, such as financial instability or sibling bullying, and affect children in many facets, including school and school performance. Even when family members are not physically together, tensions can affect their mental and physical health, relationships, and ability to perform routine tasks.
Like many diseases and illnesses, mental disorders tend to occur in families and are passed on from parents to the child. Indeed, a 2014 Brazilian study confirmed a higher incidence of mental health problems among children from dysfunctional families. More and more research shows that negative family relationships can cause stress, affect mental health and even cause physical symptoms.
Children who grow up in toxic homes have more intimate relationships with anxiety disorders. A 1998 study linked generalized anxiety disorder in parents to a dysfunctional home. Many mental health researchers have found that anxiety is a common problem in adults and children in dysfunctional homes.
Families are failing to provide for many of their children's emotional and physical needs. Given these statistics and the fact that street drugs are not covered, it is likely that children and their immediate and extended families will have problems with substances. A sick child in one family can also have a detrimental effect on another family member, as family care is shifted to the needs of the sick children, while others are ignored.
While many parents acknowledge that they need to learn new behavior management and communication techniques to provide their children with a consistent and rewarding environment, many also express deep anger that the family continues to be blamed for their children's behavior.
