Basque Study Confirms Link Between Child Aggression, Conflict-Heavy Homes
March 19th, 2010
While a direct relationship between aggressive behavior in children and difficulty in relationships at home has been studied in some length in many parts of the world, researchers in more remote places are adding their data to the collection, presenting a strong case for the need for more nurturing and stable home environments. Recently, a researcher from the Basque region in Western Europe produced a study of eight year old children, discovering that of the few who exhibited aggressive behavior, there were high rates of disruptive home environments, especially the absence of one or both parents. The work may help family counseling and health advocates make a stronger case for the creation of greater family services.

The environment of the house is disrupted if even one parent is absent for long surations or if there are constant conflicts, there is no doubt about that. It also carries a risk of making the memebers of the family prone to depession and other negative aspects. This is especially true in case of children who need the right kind of nurturing and the right environment ion the house. It is very important that they are not exposed to an unpleasant environment at home in their growing up years as it can have a marked effect on them.
Children just want to have a voice in their lives, and when they feel like no one is listening they will do whatever it takes to get attention and it does not matter if the attention is for good behavior or for bad. Of course there are more aggressive and disruptive children who come from these unstable home environments. This is the only way that they know how to act at home in order to get someone to pay attention to them. Yes we need home life to be stable but I am not sure what we as a community can do to make that happen other than to continue to educate on the need for this and to advocate on behalf of the kids who sadly have to grow up this way. It takes more than choice words and a little money to change behavior like this; it takes time and lots and lots of effort.
conflict has never helped anyone and wil never help anyone either.it is important for each one of us to understand this,and especially so for those with kids because it would definitely affect their kids.
if a couple decides to have a child they need to be clear that there will not be any major conflicts and check that there are no major issues that might create the conflicts later on.yes,small conflicts do happen sometimes but no regular and big conflict should happen or the kids will suffer.
If it was as easy as reading an article to make conflict in homes go away then wouldn’t life be so much less complicated?
Is anyone really all that surprised that these are the types of homes that are generally going to be the ones to produce children with these issues?
