Calvete, Esther; Orue, Izaskun; Gamez-Guadix, Manuel; Bushman, Brad J. – Developmental Psychology, 2015
Although we rarely hear about it, children sometimes aggress against their parents. This is a difficult topic to study because abused parents and abusive children are both reluctant to admit the occurrence of child-to-parent aggression.

A study of 10 high-risk (of child physical abuse) and 10 demographically similar low-risk Spanish mother-child dyads investigated interactional patterns in the home.
