Parents are also teachers. In fact they are children's first teachers. They are also their role models. Girls tend to marry men like their fathers and boys tend to treat their wives like their dad's treated the mom.

Children need to see Mom and Dad getting along and showing love toward each other. That's how children develope their sence of a healthy relationship when they are older. I grew up in a violent home with an alcoholic father. So it was no suprise that when I grew up that is the kinda person I married. But I eventually figured out that it wasn't "normal". But then I met someone wonderful and we try to show our kids a healthy way of life. I wish people would step back and think about what their kids see. It's so important to show love!

It really depends on if the child lives in the house with both parents... If so then... Children know alot more than we think they do and I know this because when I was 7 my parents got a divorce and I had alot of questions unaswered but I understood. If the parents don't talk and a parent is absent in a child's life then the child is going to thin k something is wrong with them because they only have one parent.

Children repeat what they hear and see. Parents are role models for children's future. A father teaches his son what kind of man to be in the future. A father teaches his daughter what kind of man to marry or what kind of man won't marry her but use her. A father teaches his daughter to be respected or abused, depending on the type of person he is. He teaches his son to respect women or abuse them.
A mother teaches her son what kind of woman to marry or what kind of woman to have a casual relationship with. A mother teaches her daughter what kind of woman to become.
We gravitate toward what we are used to. It is just like if we speak English and go to a country that doesn't speak English we would feel left out. The moment we hear someone speaking English we will go in their direction.
Parents teach us the language of our future. It is very important for parents to show and exercise unconditional love. Abused people abuse people.
It is possible to change from what we were taught by our parents but it is very hard.

i dont know what part of the equation you are, but if your one of the parents who doenst like the other [divorced?] dont talk bad about the other. it just makes the kid confused and lost. it really just is [important].
dont fight infront of them, act like you get along.
its just better for the kid to beleive everythings functional
otherwise they might grow up blaming themselves.
you can ask me through one of my questions i guess
w/more specifics
im not sure where you are in this
but its really hard when yoru parents dont get along.
the first answer is true too
actually both are.

parents serve as role models for their kids...when they grow up they end up in a relationship that resembles their parents
