feeling that they have a normal family because an argument is unpredictable.

Conflictful situations can cause stress, and stressed parents will not spend much time with their children. In addition, the quality of the relationship can be affected. Because parents will find it difficult to show warmth and affection when they are in conflict.

Hearing frequent or intense quarrels can make children stressed and scared. Stress can affect children's physical and psychological health and interfere with normal and healthy developments.
