Question

Brainiest To Best Answer! Do Parents Have the Right to Belittle, Insult or Demean their Children/Teenagers? An ungrateful parent complains that their teenager was only in the top 2% of the nation and not top 1% in a national test score, they call them failiures, useless, and mock their intellectual standing and hurt them verbally and the teenager cannot escape them because they won't leave him/her alone. This is morally wrong, what about legally? Doing such things to other people is in some/most cases sueable, does being the offspring of the offender make a difference or does that justify these insults and aggression?

Answer 1

Parents have a duty to treat their teens with respect. This is not only an obligation of conscience but also a practical necessity. parents who yell, manipulate, insult, demean, abuse, or ignore their children erect huge barriers to effective parenting. Besides, name calling, insulting, or any form of abuse can cause emotional trauma that results in a long lasting harm. Also those form of abuse can undermine your child's self esteem, damage their ability to trust and form relationships, and chip away at academic and social skills. Studies show that this can put them in as much risk for depression and anxiety.
