parental conflict

Parental conflict refers to disagreements or tensions between parents that can range from mild disagreements to more serious disputes. These conflicts can affect the emotional climate of the family and potentially impact children’s well-being. When parents are frequently upset or arguing, it can create stress and confusion for children, making it harder for them to feel secure and stable. It's important for parents to manage disagreements constructively and separate conflicts from their role as caregivers, ensuring children are supported and protected from negative effects.
