Am delighted to be here with my fellow hive family, it will interest you to know that it's another weekly prompt, and I am happy to share my little experience on "How lack of parenting love affects children behavior", well we must understand that everyone need love and we must know when and how we must make our love count so many children today make life hard for others because of lack of good parenting, parents not playing their role in their children lives.
If a parent or guardians fail in raising a child to feel loved it actually affects the child behavior because it's what you have that you give, in return love is very essential in a child life as he or she grow's up. Imagine parents who fight often, they have already build a picture in the mind of their ward and it affects that child emotional state of mind to be violent around others, emotionally that child won't understand what love is to others because a child learns more when he or she is growing up as a teenage. Children who feel neglected or unloved may exhibit behavioral issues like aggression, withdrawal, or acting out to gain attention. Children they say work with what they see a child who grew up without love would not know what it feels like to have new friends, feel others pain, and it diminishes a child relationship too. childhood relationships with parents can influence how individuals interact with partners and friends in the later life.
Lack of good foundation, in the sense of money making, loving and caring for others, giving without expecting anything in return, being there and showing up for others, amongst so many other things are important in building up a child in a way that he or she won't depart from, it's important too that's why our society suffers most because the absence of parenting foundation enable the child to lose focus like for example the absence of a father in a family affects both the child and the mother. Lack of emotional support from parents can make it harder for children to manage their emotions, leading to outbursts or difficulty expressing feelings appropriately.
You can't tell me that a child who grew up with one sided love from a single parent can think alike to that who grew up to the love of both parents. The longingness, emptyness, the desperation of wanting to be loved by the other parent can do so much harm to a child, Children who don't feel loved by their parents may believe they are not good enough, leading to low self-worth at a young age, lack of confidence, the child ends up not socializing with his/her pair and making it difficult in achieving their full potential because they might feel left out and feel less loved by their parents when other children talk about how they are being loved by their parents, it makes the child questions his/her existence as to why they are being treated with less love from their parents.
From there the child starts keeping to he/herself, starts caring less of how he/her lives life because they feel no one care and they'd choose to live carelessly as a way of seeking attention, rubbishing their lives because their parents were so focused on living their lives and neglecting their children's needs and wants, it takes the grace of God for a child who is treated with less love to understand that it's not their fault that life is unfair to them, it takes courage to live with understanding that it's all part of life, it's all part of shaping us into becoming who we were meant to be.
A child who grew up with one sided love tends to hate the other parent due to what the other parent might have said against the other, because anything the mother/father who's in the custody of the child tells him/her the child believe that's why some children develop hatred towards there own mother/father because of the information he/she heard about the other parent.I know that some parents have tried their best to give their children a better life
but sometimes if the foundation on which you're building that child is not healthy it's affects the child's mental health. Studies show a strong connection between childhood lack of love and increased susceptibility to depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders in adulthood. So i urge
parents to love, support and show their wards that they are loved regardless of the circumstances of their birth.
