Question

Think kids can feel if their parents resent them?

I feel kids are way smarter than we give them credit for. Because they are so innocent I think they can pick up on certain emotions/situations faster than adults can. I'm asking because I'm having a debate right now with someone who believes kids are naive and too young to understand.

Age: 5&up

Answer

Absolutely. They notice more than people give them credit for.

Answer

If a parent resents their child it will show in their actions and kids will defiantly pick up on that.  They are not dumb

Answer

Of course.. Kids are very observant and very smart.

Answer

If there is one thing children understand, it is emotions. I don't think they actually understand the idea of resentment, but they will feel if a parent is behaving in a way that shows resentment. In other words, for example, instead of responding to a child in a caring and loving way, the resentful parent might instead have an angry tone of voice or act like the child is unwanted. Although the parent is not outright saying how they feel, the child can feel that. In fact, before babies are even out of the womb they feel the mothers emotions.

Answer

They might not necessarily understand but they do definitely pick up on it.
