Answer 1

Answer:

They should avoid quarreling altogether, as parents’ squabbles will demoralize the children.

Explanation:

Every couple has a disagreement from time to time. You can be on a difficult day and any disagreement already becomes reason for a discussion with the partner. But beware: avoid fighting in front of your child, especially if the child will not have full command of the language - the vocabulary is restricted and makes it difficult to understand what is happening in the family. At the time of conflict, parents may exchange harsh answers and laugh with irony. This will make the child confused, scared, sad and even demoralized. Moreover, even without understanding the context, the child can absorb the hostility and tension of the environment.
