Abstract

The research was conducted in the form of a literature review to examining the effect of the parental relationship on children’s psychological growth. The result shows that parental relationships can impact children’s general development. The effects of parental conflict on children’s development are both short-term and long-term. Parental conflict affects children in a way that children can suffer from low self-esteem, the hardship of constructing relationships with others, mental health problems such as anxiety, depression, and other traumatic symptoms. Children who experience severe parental conflict such as domestic abuse can also suffer from abuse of drag and alcohol, and they are more likely to be pro-violence, have higher tolerance of violent behavior in their adult relationship, develop anti-social behavior, and have gender stereotypes. Interparental hostility and conflicts are one of the factors for children to be emotionally insecure for both the short and longer term, which leads to decreases in friendship affiliation and self-devaluation.
