Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Children prenatally exposed to drugs may exhibit difficult behavior, and parents who are struggling with addiction may be more likely to use harsh discipline as a way to control their child's behavior. This can further exacerbate the child's behavioral problems and lead to a harmful cycle of discipline and acting out.
