Parents with low social support,a tendency toward depression,multiple stress factors,and a history of abuse are at risk for abusing their own children.Abusive parents often have unrealistic expectations of a child's developmental abilities.A new mother who has joined a parents' support group is displaying positive coping behaviors.Although a mother is missing her career challenges,she is finding enjoyment in being home with her child which displays that she has a positive emotional health.A father who is overwhelmed and exhausted is at risk for abusing his children; however,he is not displaying as many risk factors and stressors as the father who is depressed,laid off from work,and missing his colleagues.
