When your childвЂ™s mind is occupied with tensions at home, it becomes difficult to concentrate at school. Excessive use of this could affect the normal functioning of their brain and internal organs.

Since their minds are still developing, they do not yet understand the risks of long term substance use. They often resort to such measures because this is a way to cope with the pain that is being inflicted on them. These disorders can cause a lot of complications in the physiology of a growing child and pose several health problems in the future.ДЄ child who is a member of a dysfunctional and abusive household can resort to substance use like drinking, smoking, drugs like marijuana and others. Eating disorders could further develop in Anorexia, where the food consumed is very less than normal consumption or Bulimia, where food is excessively consumed in short periods. They may even have trust issues about various things in life.Д®ating disorders are quite common in children who are going through domestic abuse. They may treat these people with hostility. Not only in their romantic relationships but also with their friends, siblings, cousins, other family members, colleagues and even strangers that they would want to communicate with. When a child is forced to grow in an unsympathetic environment, they tend to encounter problems in forming and sustaining their relationships. Being a bystander of regular bickering can even set off anxiety and panic attacks. Since a childвЂ™s mind is too underdeveloped to cope with such scenarios at home, the chances of development of mental disorders in children are high. Studies show that there is a high chance of children developing Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Eating Disorders, Depression, Mood swings, Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Their aggression and rage could get them into trouble in school or they might even always want to dwell in silence. They could resort to lying, destroying their toys or property and use foul language. If a child is maturing in an abusive environment they may have behavioural issues. As it becomes a part of their personality it can wreck their social interactions in the present as well as the future. 'You donвЂ™t always have to find a solution, but working toward a solution is going to provide them with good examples of how you deal with disagreement in your everyday life.The way a child perceives this world could be impacted by domestic disputes. You just want to be civil about it and work toward a resolution,' he said. вЂњItвЂ™s OK to fight and disagree in front of your kids. Conflict can be good, or it can be bad it matters how you express yourself during the conflict,вЂќ Davies said. вЂњOne thing parents sometimes take from these studies is that conflict is bad. The new study also reminds parents with good marriages that any disagreement can be a teaching moment if handled well.

Since much of that time is unsupervised, it's a good idea for any parent - regardless of the quality of their marriage - to nurture these relationships. In America today, more children grow up in a home with a sibling than with a father, and in middle childhood and adolescence, children usually spend more out-of-school time with their siblings than anyone else, McHale said. вЂњIf they think itвЂ™s fair, that makes it OK,вЂќ McHale said. McHale also said that differential treatment is a major issue, and children whose parents treat them differently are likely to be poorly adjusted and to fight more. вЂњIf kids feel they are treated more equally, sibling relationship quality is better,вЂќ said Jenkins, who co-authored a study on differential parenting in 2012. вЂњThis is an important message for parents, too.вЂќДЄnother way parents can help improve the relationships between their children is to be careful not to treat the children differently, both Jenkins and McHale said. вЂњBoth (areas) deserve celebration,вЂќ McHale said. They also drew Venn diagrams that showed areas in which they were like their siblings and ways that they were different. It shows how important in families the sibling relationship really is,' McHale said.ДЄmong other activities, children in the program were encouraged to come up with a вЂњteamвЂќ motto and mascot for themselves and their siblings, to give the pair a sense of camaraderie and purpose. вЂњIf you can improve one piece of the system, it has an effect on the other pieces of the system.
