'Hostile' parenting styles, including physical discipline and overcontrolling behavior, were found to nearly double the risk for their children to develop mental health symptoms, according to a new study.

"Our findings suggest that hostile parenting should be avoided as much as possible in early childhood if we want to prevent children from developing increased mental health symptoms," said lead author Dr. Ioannis Katsantonis, a doctoral researcher at the University of Cambridge. "We found that children in the high-risk class had parents with greater stress and greater likelihood of ongoing physical and mental health problems.

"Our findings underline the importance of doing everything possible to ensure that parents are supported," Symonds said."Nobody is born knowing how to parent. What I appreciate about this study is that it’s advocating for us to give more support to parents in terms of evidence-based parent management programs. These should be readily accessible in all communities for parents," according to Dr.

The researchers unexpectedly did not find any change in risk for mental health symptoms with "warm" parenting styles, which previous research has suggested is protective. "Of course, mental health symptoms are not just caused by parenting techniques," said Hurria. "There are many factors, such as genetics. But this does give us one area to intervene."

Which is why we MUST remove children from their biological parents and put them in Government Schools. It’s for their safety.

All growing seedlings need a healthy and good living environments.🫶🙏

And who gets to determine what hostile parenting is for billions of households? Man if yall don't sthu

My birth monster was constantly threatening me with deadly physical violence. She was going to “bash my face in,” “bash my teeth in” and “bash my skull in” and she kept me isolated in a room by myself until I snuck out at 14 years old and got pregnant. She forebode my existence.

BULLSHYIT.

wow. THINGS SHOULD GET BETTER FOR THESE AMAZING BABIES NOT WORSE

Wow

We need to see the return of Bible based, God following, sacrificially loving, truth telling parenting. Kids need to see and believe the gospel and the love of Christ in the face of our sin. That is the ultimate cure for our issues.

Children who were exposed to hostile gender affirmation parenting at age 3 were 1 1/2 times more likely to have high-risk mental health symptoms by the age of 9, according to a new study. Fixed it.

I will agree at 💯.. Mean as Mama's and daddy's... Makes they're child or children Rude! Disrespectful! Violent! withdrawn and isolatiated from social gatherings! And a poor communicator. Because I myself still deals, with at least two of these traits today. ⚔️🕊️💎🌏

And I’m sure they have mental health issue with what’s going on in Tennessee and Florida.

Ya don’t say

Didn’t need a study for this. Parents have influence on kids isn’t breaking news. Check the data on fatherless households when it comes to crime, educational attainment and poverty.

SMH!

This is why I don’t believe in any form of punishment. I let my adopted kids do whatever they want

Time out and other means have led to school shooters.

So does a vegan diet

Surprise!! How about that? A study that shows hypocritical parents have contributed to our current environment. New parents take note: Hold yourselves to the standards you expect from your kids, because hypocrisy is neither victimless nor unjudged.

Wow! Now do medications given out for kickbacks and the decline of public schools

Lmao single family homes is the root problem.

'The world doesn't owe you a living.' My Father being verbally abusive.

Definitions please. If you force your kid to do stuff like beauty pageant, sports etc, that’s over controlling. There’s nothing wrong with physical discipline in check. My Gramma hit me 3 seperate times with a big ol wooden spoon. I deserved & recall each. It’s in my kitchen🤣

Oh and the children are normal that didn't experience that?

Nope, kids needs dis, it’s in the Bible

Generations grew up with spanking and built America but it’s this generation without spanking that’s all messed up

My parents were divorced, my mom let me do anything and I was a monster, my dad took custody of me and he whipped me with a leather belt over my bare bottom and I was cured. My best childhood memories were with my dad. You're study is garbage science.

As opposed to the snowflakes we have today

ABC states hostile parenting styles. Thats an extreme. You need to teach, guide, have family together for meals, keep cohesive, God, faith, family boardgame nite no lost in TikTok nonsense, wasting time. Free range do your thing leads kids to troublesome friends, dead to drugs

No kidding. Just ask someone who insists 'My parents beat the hell out of me and I turned out fine.' Did you, though?

Define over controlling behavior please.

Child abuse works like, guilty until proven otherwise, especially if you’re not a minority.

How come 'mental health symptoms' were never an issue until parents STOPPED disciplining their kids and the whole 'everyone gets a trophy' movement?

Nope..won’t believe this not one bit. What is more harming to a child more than anything is…single mothers, single fathers, govt assistance, community outreaches and NOT giving them discipline. Children are more confused and kill themselves more now than EVER

Propaganda. That's what is wrong with youth today. No discipline. The result. No respect for authority. Try educating them instead of indoctrinating them.

It’s whim. Adults also tend to produce whims .. casestudy , 2020 election , Jan 6th etc

Duh.

Then we scratch our heads and wonder why kids with lack of that discipline are going around shooting up achools

So spanking your kids risks developing mental illness? Hilarious..

Im sure, growing up in America is increasing mental health problems, as well as obesity, cancer poverty and the risk of dying from gun violence is overwhelming. Land of the free and home of the brave🤭

Spare the rod, spoil the child. Too many mothers and fathers acting like mothers is what is ruining the children.

This study brought to you by the office of common sense.

Well duh! Y’all had to conduct a study to figure that out

That’s B.S, the internet is responsible for kids developing mental health issues. They shouldn’t have access to the whole web at young ages. They do not know how to process certain information preadolescent.

How does that compare to divorce, single parent homes, and being raised by LGBTQP

LOL.
