The relationships children see model the relationships they will try to form as they grow up. So yeah, watching my grandparents bicker didn't do much for my picture of marriage. On the other hand watching my parents go through a divorce and stay civil did a lot for my picture of parenting. So yes, I'd say they do.

I have seen some examples that would suggest children are influenced by the relationship they have with their parents. If parents have clear rules, an understanding nature, are supportive and loving children are likely to be happy. However if parents have unclear rules, an angry temper, are unforgiving and not at all loving children are affected in a negative way. Parents should say to their child 'I like you but I don't like your behaviour'. Too many parents say hurtful and damaging things to their children. It is always better to praise a child for something good that he or she has done rather than moan at them constantly. I have heard very disturbed children saying that they hate themself. The parent has given the child a poor self image.

yup, actually the children view parents as role models and if they see the parents not in good terms, you will feel that the children are affected through their mood and how they interact with people

yes i think there is some truth in this, but then on the other hand there are alot of places they can see bad relationships not just in their own home does that have some affects aswell? We can't protect our children from everything although we try are best.
