The topic I have chosen to examine using the five pillars of psychology is parent-child relationships. I chose this topic because I think it will keep my interest as well as help me grow as a mother to my two toddlers. I also want to learn more about parent-child relationships considering I’ve seen how much they can differ between people and I want to see if there is a psychological aspect that may have increased or decreased the chances that the relationship I had with my biological mother. I hope that by examining child-parent relationships that I may be able to learn more about how to raise my children and the different interactions I can have with them that may benefit them more. As a child I didn’t have a mother as she was abusive to both me and my brother because of this, I’m also curious if I have a higher chance of possibly being the same way towards my girls as they get older based on how my relationship with my parents were. As a child I didn’t have a mother as she was abusive to both me and my brother because of this I want to educate myself more on the relations between parent and child, to delve deeper in the psychological aspect of the relationship, and grow as both a parent and a person as a whole.
