A report was recently announced by the Child Rights Protection Platform. In the research prepared by interviewing hundreds of parents in 15 provinces, parents were asked "What is your reaction to your child in the face of events that challenge your tolerance?" ' was asked.
74 percent of the families stated that they used emotional violence. Being angry with the child and forbidding him the things he likes were listed as examples of emotional violence. What was worse about this situation was that 41 percent said that what they did worked. So, is it right to use emotional violence against a child? Specialist Psychotherapist Elif Zahide Tekerek pointed out that emotional violence damages the child at least as much as physical violence, and evaluated the issue as follows: >
Experiences trust problems
The child constantly feels guilty with the anxiety of receiving a reaction as a result of his offending behavior, thus he becomes unable to trust others. He feels worthless, thinking that he is not loved enough in the environment where he is safest and should be loved unconditionally. As a result, when they grow up, they either beg for love from those around them or try to be the center of attention by being overly giving.
They cannot learn discipline
While the parent-child relationship is negatively affected by the threat of hitting the child, This situation may also lead to a lack of discipline in the child. Children exposed to emotional violence are more likely to be aggressive and violent than their peers during adolescence. An individual who was exposed to such violent behavior during childhood uses the physical and emotional violent behavior he learned as a problem-solving technique in the future.
He may feel worthless
What actually means is a mother being angry with her child. It is a reflection of his not knowing how to communicate and his feelings of anger, whether he is aware of it or not. Mothers who cannot find a solution when faced with a problem prefer to be offended as a form of punishment. This situation is very harmful for the child who cannot yet fully understand abstract concepts. It is giving. One of the causes of child depression is that the mother ignores her child and punishes him by ignoring him. You must communicate knowing that the child's perception and establishment of cause-effect relationships are still developing.
