Marriage is a union which has its ups and downs. Sometimes parents transfer their anger towards their children. This is very bad since children are not always aware of what is happening.
Many cases have been reported where parents have involved their children in their quarrels. Some children have also died due to the conflicts.
Parents should learn to solve their misunderstandings without involving their children. Although some children will not be hurt physically they will, however,be psychologically affected.
Moses Ogira, a teacher in Kibera said some of his pupils are psychologically tortured by the parent’s misunderstandings.
''I have pupils who can barely concentrate in class due to the stress they are carrying. I once called them one by one and asked why they behave so strangely. It took them time to share their experiences. We called their parents and talked to them but they have never changed,’ said Ogira.
Ogira, however, wants parents to know that their misunderstandings can lead to a child’s poor academic performance because of lack of concentration in class.
