There are no bad parents only unconscious ones. A mother that screams at her five year old for having the tv too loud or a father who demands his kids do as they are told or else. Both are examples of unconscious parenting.
The mother worried and anxious about something suddenly becomes aware of the tv volume and lashes at her child. The father feels insecure about a situation at work and asserts himself at home.
These may sound like extreme examples but they happen in homes everyday. To a young child parents are everything, parents are god-like. The way parents teach and guide their children affects day-to-day life at home and how kids grow emotionally. There are no bad parents, unconsconcious parents practice bad parenting.
