Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

Suggested response:

Hearing arguing while sleeping could cause the infants to feel tension or anxiety. If the arguing is loud or especially tense, the babies’ sleep may also be affected. The baby may wake often during the night or be fussy during the day. Parents who argue a lot may also experience more negative emotions, which may affect the infants’ moods, too. Plus, they may not show adequate warmth to their babies, an outcome that could interfere with attachment and brain development.
