Family Therapy in Long Island, New York
If a couple fails to communicate with each other, it has a trickle down effect on the children.
Fighting and being disrespectful to your partner only shows your children that this is the way to be heard.
They will copy our behaviors in order to get what they want from others.
This is what you are teaching them to do in a relationship, be it with friendships or further down the line in their lives with a partner.
