Clarissa, recently divorced, is confiding in her 12-year-old daughter, Bella, about her relationship issues. This practice places undue emotional strain on Bella, who is not equipped to handle such adult topics. The concern is that discussing adult problems with children can negatively impact their emotional development. The challenge lies in conveying this to Clarissa without igniting conflict, as parents often resist feedback regarding their parenting. This concern isn't easy, as similar attempts in the past have ended friendships.
Clarissa is in the habit of discussing her problems with Bella, burdening her daughter at a young age with issues she's not emotionally equipped to handle.
It's inappropriate for a parent to use their child as a sounding board or therapist, which can impact the child's emotional development.
