Psychological impacts of parental behaviors
Overview
Psychologist Jeffrey Bernstein has provided insights into how specific parental behaviors impact children and adult children.
Regarding adult children, Bernstein notes that estrangement often stems from unaddressed communication issues, such as a child feeling their perspective is ignored. He observes that well-intentioned parental care can backfire if conversations focus solely on a child’s problems or if constant unsolicited advice is perceived as judgment.
In terms of child development, Bernstein identifies behaviors that can undermine a child’s self-esteem. These include constant critique of a child’s efforts and the practice of comparing children to siblings or peers, which can foster a sense of inadequacy.
