The Unloving Ways That Parents React
When parents feel disrespected by their children's behavior, they may react with chronic anger, chronic appeasement, or chronic apathy. However, none of these reactions are the appropriate way for parents to deal with feeling disrespected.
Recognizing The Dangers
Anger can lead to a breakdown in communication and emotional disconnection between parents and children. Chronic appeasement fails to address underlying issues and perpetuates ongoing problems. Chronic apathy fosters apathy in the child towards the parent, further damaging the relationship.
