While no one is the perfect parent, there are certain parenting behaviors that
can have serious negative effects on children. From mirroring what they
see at home to starting out well behind their peers, these kids are at a
disadvantage.
Seven Ways Bad Parenting Can Affect Children
Higher Risk for Psychological Disorders
Children who are raised in families dealing with abuse are far more likely to suffer from
psychological disorders, according to a study published in the journal Child Development.
Although no one psychological disorder stood out as particularly prevalent, these children were
at greater risk for disorders of all types. In addition, the study found that family relationships,
including relationships between siblings, were not as warm and loving as they are in other
families.

Additionally, children who were directly abused themselves were far more likely than their peers
to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), according to a study published in the

journal Child Abuse & Neglect. This was particularly true for sexual abuse, but it is also a
concern for other forms of child abuse.
In addition, a study published in the journal Demography found that frequently moving and
uprooting a child resulted in poor performance in school. While frequent moves aren't always a
factor parents can control, it's important to consider the effect on the child before making several
moves.
Another study published in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry found that children
who were the victims of sexual abuse at home had much lower self-esteem than their peers. They
also showed more signs of depression and had negative views about their family relationships.
A study published in the Journal of Family Violence found that children who both witnessed and
experienced domestic abuse were far more likely to suffer from internalized anger and behavior
problems than their peers. This can lead to a "cycle of abuse," in which children grow up to
abuse others in the same way they were abused.
Failure to Thrive
When children have a failure to thrive in infancy and early childhood, they typically show slower
than normal growth, delayed mental development, and signs of malnutrition. An article
published in the American Journal of Orthopsychiatry found that failure to thrive was directly
related to parental neglect. Children were not receiving adequate nutrition to allow them to grow
at the same rate as peers.
Another cause of failure to thrive can be medical child abuse, according to a study published in
the journal Pediatrics. Medical child abuse involves parents subjecting kids to unnecessary
medical procedures and treatments. The study found that failure to thrive could be a sign that this
type of abuse is happening.

Problems with the Law
A study published in the International Journal of Child, Youth, & Family Studies found that
children who were neglected by their parents were more likely to be prosecuted for juvenile
delinquency. The study proposed additional research into the exact relationship between parental
neglect and juvenile delinquency.
Another study published in the journal Behavioral Sciences & the Law found that if mothers
have been juvenile delinquents, they were far more likely to give birth to children who had
antisocial behaviors and a tendency toward problems with the law themselves. The study
proposed that this could also be related to parental substance abuse.
Another study published in Merrill-Palmer Quarterly found that children who had hostile and
controlling parents were more likely to be socially distressed and disliked by peers.
