Understanding Parent-Child Conflict: Illustrative Scenarios of Emotional Dysregulation #3615072 (License: Personal Use)

The image features six distinct hand-drawn scenes portraying adults (parents or caregivers) expressing anger, frustration, or disappointment toward children through yelling, gesturing, or physical postures like hands on hips or covering faces. Each panel shows a different age group and setting-from toddlers crying after being reprimanded to teens clashing with authority figures-emphasizing recurring patterns of emotional dysregulation in family interactions. The expressive line art and facial cues convey high emotional intensity without text, making it universally relatable.

This image is commonly used on parenting blogs, mental health resources, child psychology websites, and educational materials about emotional regulation, discipline strategies, and trauma-informed caregiving; it supports content aimed at helping adults recognize harmful communication patterns and foster healthier relationships with children.
