If a primary caretaker has a negative attitude toward a child it increases the risk that the child will grow up hostile to others. And it is not just aggression toward others that results from child abuse; a large number of children raised by abusive parents also harm themselves. The reason for this negative behavior is that the children don’t learn appropriate techniques for handling life’s disappointments. How can one know if they are being “too strict?” If you’re raising children with inadequate coping skills, they’re much more likely to act “inappropriately” than if they have developed reasonable approaches. The effect of poor parenting, as reported by Dr. Geoffrey Dahmer in “The Bully Papers,” is that everyone gets the child they deserve.
