Family Dynamics
All couples fight. Add in the additional stress of having children, and it is inevitable that the frequency of these arguments will escalate. Although conflict is a normal part of any relationship, its presence may have long-lasting effects on the child’s future relationships.
Emotional Security Theory (EST) believes that children are vulnerable and consequently they seek to maintain security through their relationships. EST suggests that children develop attachment styles as a result of interaction with their entire family as a system, and not between them and their parents. Thus, when conflict is constant in a household, the child becomes focused on protecting himself and is increasingly perturbed, resulting in a surge of the stress hormone cortisol. Depending upon its levels in the blood stream, cortisol can damage the child’s ability to store memories.
EST provides just one example as to how influential parents are on the lives of their children. It is truly amazing how impressionable and fragile they are, and may even lead some parents to worry that they are not doing enough to protect their child. But fear not, as I mentioned earlier, conflict is normal, and as long as it is dealt with in a healthy manner, it is most certainly not detrimental.

assuming parents deal with it
as a child of divorce, I can understand how conflict has a huge negative effect on children. When parents and other family members focus on fighting and pointing fingers, the kids are the ones that are hurt.
Hopefully, parents realize that their actions do affect their kids and don't let their anger blind them.
