Being a parent is probably one of the most important jobs.
Right now, there's an entire generation of young children who will one day inherit the
earth.
Parents aren't just building a family, they're building the future of our society.
Raising children in a healthy way should be a huge priority for everyone.
But the sad truth is that poor parenting is linked to 10 psychological factors.
Number one; Parents who have gone through psychological distress are more likely to
mistreat their kids.
What happens when a parent suffers from serious mental distress?
Some psychologists will tell you that parents affected with psychological distress may treat
their own children with hostility and rejection.
For example, they might push their children away after dealing with something terrible
because they just want to be left alone.
Studies have shown that when parents reject their children, they cause all kinds of issues
in their little ones.
These issues include sleep problems and listlessness.
In this case at least, it seems like the psychological issues that the parents are facing are projecting
and harming their children.
In effect, these children may develop psychological issues as a result of reoccurring abuse.
Number two; Depressed parents can show a total lack of emotion towards their kids.
Depression is a very common mental disorder, but what happens when parents develop it?
How does it affect their children?
One 2018 study revealed that depressed parents do not show proper sentiments or emotions
towards their children or their feelings about parenting responsibilities are assumed negative.
To combat this, one researcher proposed a radically different treatment approach; one
that focused on the entire family unit instead of the individual alone.
Number three; children show less trust towards parents with low self-esteem issues.
Low self-esteem is something most of us have struggled with at some point.
So what happens when children see their parents suffering from this?
One study found that low self-esteem had an impact on the trust between parents and children.
Interesting research shows that self-esteem radically impact our perception of our own
relationships.
When we have low self-esteem, we might believe that our relationships are much worse than
they actually are.
Parents might believe that they have a strained relationship with their children, when really
it's not all that bad.
Number 4; Poor parenting is linked to early psychopathy.
A lot of YouTubers right now are talking about sociopathy and psychopathy, and it's been
really enlightening.
Psychopathy is characterized by antisocial and immoral behavior; issues with romantic
relationships and extreme egocentricity.
But did you know that early psychopathy can be caused by poor parenting?
More specifically, one 2017 study stated that harsh discipline and insensitivity could contribute
to early psychopathy and other behavioral problems.
The consequences of this are quite severe.
Many times, parents who try to correct psychopathic behavior at a young age end up making it worse.
A child's mind is plastic and changeable when they are young, which means that if intervention
isn't successful during childhood, psychopathy could end up being a permanent thing in the
future.
Number 5; Parents who have been abused as children can result in less empathy with their
kids.
Parents raise their kids with an eye to the past, to their own childhoods.
But what happens if these parents experienced abuse when they were young?
One study stated that mothers with sexual abuse history in childhood may suffer from
greater parenting stress, which can lead to diminished empathy with their own children.
Simply put, this means that mothers who have been abused have a hard time connecting and
bonding with their young ones.
Studies have shown that children who grow up without a good initial bond are less likely
to be happy and resilient.
Number six; Anxiety disorder in kids is linked to poor parenting.
Interestingly enough, poor parenting is linked to anxiety disorder in children.
New research has found that anxiety disorder is linked to over controlling parents who
don't give their children enough independence.
These children find it hard to control their own behavior and achieve independence.
If you've been controlled for your whole life, it's hard to start taking things into your
own hands.
Number seven; Irrational and uneducated beliefs in mothers is linked with more behavioral
problems in their daughters.
Every parent wants to provide their children with a solid rational education.
It's one of the most important tools you can provide your child with.
So, how does education levels in parents impact their children?
One study came to the conclusion that younger mothers with lower levels of education are
more likely to have daughters with behavioral problems.
Number eight; Lack of parental warmth is linked with higher anxiety.
Different parents have different approaches when it comes to raising their kids.
Some like to be very authoritative while others like to be more laid-back.
But when it comes to anxiety in children, a very important factor is how warm parents
are towards their children.
This was confirmed by a 2003 study which found that perceived parental warmth was positively
associated with active coping and negatively correlated with trait anxiety in adolescents.
Number nine; Authoritarian parents can cause their kids to become depersonalized.
Depersonalization disorder is where people feel like they're disconnected from their
own bodies and thoughts, almost like they're watching themselves from the outside looking
in.
One study examined multiple different parenting styles including authoritarian, permissive,
authoritative and indifferent.
Among other things, they discovered that authoritarian parents had children which showed higher scores
on depersonalization.
Number 10; Crime filled neighborhoods are linked to poor parenting.
First, let's examine what can cause poor parenting.
Research has shown that a parent who lives in a bad neighborhood can be severely impacted
by their environment and this can actually affect their children in a negative way as
well.
Simply put, this means that bad neighborhoods can result in poor parenting.

As some of you guys might have noticed, I do read the comments and occasionally respond

themselves through our videos.
Given the nature of the previous topic, we felt it necessary to provide a few different
resources for anybody who might be going through some tough times.
