As a parent, your job is to raise your kids to be good members of the society. Family is the basic building block of the society and if there isn't peace and love in the family, the society will be affected.
Most parents aren't aware of the fact that, constant violence in the home can have psychological effects on their kids. The brain stores information, both consciously and unconsciously. So kids can be influenced by constant exposure to violence. They develop aggressive behaviours and think its ok to be violent, because they see their parents fighting.
Most bullies, didn't just wake up one day and decided to be bullies. Sometimes they take what they see at home and decide to do the same to their peers. Parents should ensure that the home is peaceful, so their kids can be happy.
Even as adults, kids that grew up in violent environments, tend to act violently towards their spouse and other people. They are confrontational and aggressive. This tends to affect their relationships.
As a parent, you should:
- Never fight in front of your kids.
- Shout at your spouse in the presence of your kids.
- Don't transfer aggression to them.
- Don't make them feel violence is acceptable and the way to solve issues.
- Always talk to them,when they are wrong and even after punishing them.
- Teach them to respect others, regardless of age.
Be a role model to your kids, you owe it to God, them, yourself and the society.
