A psychology of growth.Causes of behavior problems.

A psychology of growth.: Causes of behavior problems. Parental attitudes are the most important cause of behavior problems. Some children are rejected by one or both parents. Parents commonly see defects in their child's behavior, which represents a problem in their own minds. Hostility toward children may also be due to the insecurity of the parents themselves, as well as to fatigue and financial problems. Parents wrongly humiliate their children in front of others. Another cause of misbehavior is insisting upon standards that are too high for the child.

Abstract

Parental attitudes are the most important cause of behavior problems. Some children are rejected by one or both parents. Parents commonly see defects in their child's behavior, which represents a problem in their own minds. Hostility toward children may also be due to the insecurity of the parents themselves, as well as to fatigue and financial problems. Parents wrongly humiliate their children in front of others. Another cause of misbehavior is insisting upon standards that are too high for the child. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
