Parents shouldn’t argue in such a way that their children are afraid!

If a child comes in, they should explain what has happened and not leave the child alone with its concerns and fears. If parents often have intense arguments and you feel that no one is paying attention to you, you should seek help. It’s not good to put up with situations that make you depressed and afraid.
