Respuesta :

A. with general indifference, regardless of their children's behavior.

The right answer is "D. by ignoring positive behaviors and blaming negative behaviors on the other parent."

This happens a lot between families where parents have a very bad relationship. They consistently neglect their children, do not congratulate them on their achievements or the positive points of their personality because they are focused on pointing out the faults of one another.  In addition, these parents often point out the negative points in their children. They use this as an excuse to blame the other parent, saying that he or she is the real reason for their children's bad behavior.

It is important to emphasize that an environment in which parents have a toxic relationship is very harmful to children, and can generate violent, stressed and incomprehensible adults with behaviors as destructive as their parents.
