Stop Arguing!  

“It is easier to build strong children than it is to repair broken men,” said social reformer and founding father Frederick Douglass.  When people argue in front of their children that can break them. So don't argue. It causes kids stress , they become accustomed to arguing, and can become depressed or even hostile.

Why would you want to torment kids?  According to THE STEINHARDT SCHOOL OF CULTURE, EDUCATION, AND HUMAN DEVELOPMENT "Arguing and fighting is psychologically stressful for the adults caught in conflict; this study demonstrates the costs of that conflict for children in the household as well.”(Exposure to Aggression Between Parents Can Interfere with a Child’s Ability to Regulate Emotions, Finds NYU Steinhardt Study).

Nobody wants to be depressed. By arguing in front of your children you can make your kids depressed and stressed, they have emotions too. As kids age the more their brain develops, but arguing can interrupt development.

“Children are like emotional Geiger counters” claims a professor at NYU. to summarize this, it means that children can sense when actions are poisonous to their health. They might even start to have a routine of hiding whenever their parents fight. They become accustomed to fighting and can end up living in fear.

Many might claim that they need to fight to make it well known that they are correct especially when they actually are. But really there is no excuse for arguing. Instead, just be the better man or woman and walk away from the situation . Doing this will improve your relationships and the environment your child is most comfortable with.

When you get older and you end up in a verbal disagreement with your partner practice the skills that I have said in paragraph 5 by just being the better man or woman. it can improve your overall life and possibly your health. So think of this the next time you're in a heated situation, maybe having a good industrious and smart child can start by not arguing.
