Children of separated couples may also perform worse at school and have poorer future employment prospects. Some children are less likely to have successful relationships themselves as adults.

TDA 3.6 2.1 Children and young people can experience prejudice and discrimination on many different levels. This can range from how they look, the clothes they were, how they speak, their religion and beliefs, their gender, their age, for having a disability. This can start of very simply as being picked on from having a different type of uniform (skirt, coat, shoes) etc, and can lead to a child being excluded from joining in games and play because of this. This can continue on a daily basis with children thinking they are playing and aren’t doing anything wrong. Sometimes this is learned behaviour from home and is hard for young children to understand that you are telling them it is not okay to call names because of someone’s skin colour or how they look .
This happens because a child learns to predict how his parent will react, whether it is positive or negative. They also learn that doing certain things will make their parents do certain things. • Disorganized children will do things that seem to make no sense. • Sometimes these children will speak really fast and will be hard to understand. • Very young children might freeze in their footsteps for no apparent reason.
ADHD negatively can affect a child’s social and emotional behavior and the ability to control them in a positive manner in a school environment. Children that have both ADD/ADHD are expressively immature. Some studies show children who have ADHD, especially those children that have expressive outbursts or violent tendencies; they have a hard time socializing with others. In school, if their classmates and teacher single them out, they feel self-conscious. Many children with disabilities usually need more structured and clearly amorphous surroundings, also behaviorally, than a general education classroom can offer.
However, the main competition is for the child’s affection. The competition is intensified due to the child being attached to both the parent and the provider. Another emotion is insecurity. Parents can feel insecure then they perceive that they are not number one in their child’s eyes. Insecurity can also mean fear of abandonment or fear of being replaced.
IB Psychology 1 H435-2 Erikson’s psychological theory of psychosocial development in adolescents has been supported and disputed, showing many strengths and weaknesses, by a multitude of case studies most specifically Rutter et al and Espin et al. Erikson’s theory describes the impact of social experience across the whole lifespan and shows how he believes that personality develops in a series of eight different stages. Each stage in Erikson’s theory is concerned with becoming competent in an area of life and experiencing a conflict that serves as a turning point in development. He believes that if the “stage” is handled well, the person will feel a sense of mastery but if the stage is handled poorly, the person will emerge with a sense of inadequacy. In Erikson’s view he sees these conflicts centered around developing a psychological quality or failing to develop that quality.

Children may see this act as hatred, uncaring, and can cause a bit of confusion. In result the child would grow scared of the parent, never knowing when they may act again. More effective
If they fail to create this trust, they develop mistrust. The result of developing mistrust is an Inadequate Resolution. An inadequate resolution indicates a developmental problem. An inadequate resolution in this case would indicate a child's insecurity and anxiety. An Adequate Resolution would mean that a child was able to overcome the conflict in each stage a develop properly.
For example, when a child acts in a harmful manner, a good parent tells him that such behavior is unacceptable, suggest alternatives, explains this to him and avoids statements such as “You were bad”. Because children do not recognize their mistakes when being scolded, parents should explain nicely to help them have a better look at themselves. So the reasonable attitude helps parents educate their kids more efficiently and it is surely a criterion of a good parent. Finally, the most important quality of a good parent is affection. Because a loving and supportive household gives children the stability they need to feel safe.
