Parents cannot but face difficulties in the process of raising children. All parents do their best, but when they find child rearing too hard, they give up and let children do whatever they want and take responsibility. However, it is not right for parents to have children take responsibility and not care about them.
Parents must let children decide for themselves when children become adults, but children who are minors and in the process of forming self-identity through trials and errors cannot and should not take responsibility for themselves. Minors have only the right to be protected and reared by adults, and they should be able to prepare themselves for pursuing self-actualization as adults in the future. They will and must take responsibility when they become adults and pursue self-actualization. Parents who make children take responsibility are neglecting their duty as parents.
Minors have the right to be happy under the protection of parents and parents have the responsibility to protect children. When parents have their own psychological problems, they lose the perspective that views children's growth process as it is and they perceive it as problems. Some parents even blame children for their own problems. They think that they are having a difficult time because their children have problems.
For example, when a teenager displays rebellious and aggressive behaviors, parents may think that they have not changed but the child has peculiar personality traits or some problems unrelated with parents. They may think that parenting is too difficult and they are unhappy because of their child. Personality is not good or bad in itself. Any personality trait can be manifested positively or negatively depending on the situation or the view point.
It is usually the unstable environment provided by parents who have their own problems that negatively affect children, which in turn makes children display diverse behavioral and psychological problems. Some children may express their distress outwardly by being rebellious or aggressive, and others may suppress their negative emotions. Either way, children's psychology cannot develop in a healthy way when parents have psychological problems.
Parents affect children greatly with no exception. Especially, parents' emotional state is delivered to children without being filtered. You should never discard your duty of protecting children and taking responsibility for their healthy growth. You should never make children take responsibility for their growth.
