"It may be the most common kind of child abuse—and the most challenging to deal with. But psychological abuse, or emotional abuse, rarely gets the kind of attention that sexual or physical abuse receives.
Psychological maltreatment can include belittling, neglecting a child or threatening a child with violence. It also includes allowing a child to witness violence or severe abuse.
What makes this kind of maltreatment so hard to detect and identify, however, is that it"s not defined by any one specific event, but rather by the nature of the relationship between caregiver and child.
Keeping a child in a constant state of fear is abuse, for example. But even the most loving parent will occasionally lose their cool and yell. Likewise, depriving a child of ordinary social interaction is also abuse, but there"s nothing wrong with sending a school-aged boy to stew alone in his room for an hour after he hits a younger sibling. All of this means that, for an outsider who observes even some suspected parenting practice, it can be hard to tell whether a relationship is actually abusive, or whether you"ve simply caught a family on a bad day."

An abused child may become depressed. He or she may withdraw, think of suicide or become violent. An older child may use drugs or alcohol, try to run away or abuse others.

Maybe if the culture values people, it gets easier. Take all the countries where the Morn has a week to recover in hospital after giving birth and doesn"t have to stress about costs. Take companies that provide quality free childcare on site.

Kids might be afraid of the consequences of reporting abuse, either because they fear the abuser or the family is financially dependent on that person. For reasons like these, abuse often goes unreported and many kids and teens don"t tell anyone what is going on.

I"m glad we"re finally starting to recognize psychological abuse of children as a real problem.
For too long, some have had to evaluate their perception of being abused after it occurred when society at large gave no term to it. These people have not known where to turn or how to recover. Others don"t know how to treat these people because they have no training, no point of reference, and very little understanding of their condition.

Many kids who are abused distrust others. They may feel a lot of anger toward other kids and themselves, and it can be hard to make friends.

It"s also possible that the parent doesn"t intend to keep the child in a constant state of fear. They could be overworked and stressed out to the point that they get home and blow up over the smallest thing.

Children who are abused might have trouble getting help because it means they"d be reporting on someone they love—someone who may be wonderful much of the time and awful to them only some of the time.
