Raising a healthy child requires consistent and dependable diligence, love, kindness, effective communication, and the ability to apply reasonable standards and boundaries of discipline at home. It’s understandable that financial and emotional provisions are standard necessities if you want to raise a balanced family and have a reasonable lifestyle. When parents repeatedly fail to fulfill their roles with awareness and sensitivity for each family member, the family unit can become unbalanced. Difficult behaviors can result in one or all family members. Dysfunctional relationships occur and are sustained when lines of action and communication are continually broken and broken and cannot be reestablished to the benefit of each party.
The infant is positively designed at birth to receive a level of quality nurturing from its biological caregivers. Apart from the absolute dependency of the infant, all infants come into this world with physiological and emotional needs that must be handled responsibly and lovingly as they grow and develop. The home environment that parents create plays an important role in determining how a baby will be raised and whether he will be a well-adjusted child, an adolescent, and ultimately a responsible adult, who in turn will form his own well-oriented family.
Long-term deprivation, neglect, or abuse of specific needs (caused by insensitive parenting roles) can affect a child’s development, emotional responses, and personality formation. These behaviors will easily transfer from parent to child. If dysfunctional role patterns and communication have occurred within the family without any intervention and behavior modifications are not managed in the individual’s life, the transmission of these behaviors is likely and most likely will prevail into the next generation.
Frequent displays of negative (or absent) communication and behavior by one or more individuals within the family, which are ultimately difficult for family members to deal with, will seep into the family, creating a dysfunctional set of relations. Each individual in the family may encounter a level of reaction as relationships spiral and shift into a fixed pattern of responses that relate to what they are experiencing. These overwhelming moments defy the norm. Families may openly ignore these events and may accept the havoc as it comes because it is what they are used to, while others unaccustomed to change may seek unusual coping mechanisms or, hopefully, realistic and humane solutions to avoid it. that they happen again. .
All families experience their unique difficulties and problems at one time or another. In all fairness, these events should pass. We all know this. Life in this millennium is not designed to be a straight line without hiccups and irregular wrinkles from time to time. However, when problems frequently reoccur at home, parents need to be aware of them and pay attention to their remedy if they want to avoid permanent dysfunctional relationships within the family.
