When Children Are Caught in Adult Conflicts
Sometimes adults blame children for things beyond their control. Even very young children can feel caught in the middle.
When one child witnesses another child being blamed, they may:
- Misplace anger or frustration onto the sibling
- Act aggressively or withdraw
- Feel confused, guilty, or anxious
Children are never responsible for adult conflicts. Protect them, reassure them, and model healthy communication and boundaries.
Counselling can help children:
- Understand and express their feelings safely
- Develop healthy coping strategies
- Improve relationships with siblings and peers
- Build confidence and emotional resilience
