Negative Parental Examples and the Values They Communicate

Parental Example Value Communicated

Adult lying Adults cannot be trusted
Aggressive communication The world is unsafe
Child neglect Children are not valued
Constant family fighting Life is not joyful
Constant emotional problems Life is an emotional roller coaster
Lack of parental integrity Honesty & respect not valued
Parental depression Doubt and negativity are the norm

Adults who have problems managing anger are often victims of other emotions, which may leave them impaired in their ability to parent.
