Emotional Abuse in a Child

Get a chair Sir,
Get a chair Ma,

It is very Important and necessary for you to read this.
Everyone is talking about
ChildDrugAbuse,
ChildLabor,
ChildRape,
ChildHarrassment,

But no one seem to be considering one of the early killers of a child's dream, which is CHILD EMOTIONAL ABUSE.

This has become very rampant in many homes in Africa today.

Which is the reason for many failed result.

Which is the outcome of many wrong behaviours in the Society at large.

Hear Me:
Emotional abuse in children is defined as behaviors, speech, and actions of parents, caregivers, or other significant figures in a child’s life that have a negative mental impact on the child.

Let me shake and shock you a bit!
Do you know that all this are forms of emotional abuse?
* Name calling
* Insulting
* Threatening violence (even without carrying out threats)

* Allowing children to witness the physical or emotional abuse of another
* Withholding love, support, or guidance.

When you have emotionally abuse a child at home, then you send the child to school for the teachers to perform Magic.

Hear Me: Teachers are Teachers and not Magicians. Help the teacher to help teach your child. Set the right mood for the kids before sending them over to school.


How do I identify an emotionally abused Boy/Girl.
Signs that a child is emotionally abused:
* Being fearful of a parent
* Saying they hate a parent
* Talking badly about themselves (such as saying, “I’m stupid”)
* Seeming emotionally immature when compared to peers
* Experiencing a sudden change in behavior (such as doing poorly in school)

A lot of African Parents are guilty of this offence.

Hear me: If we want to raise a Generation of faithful Leaders then we have to force-stop emotional abuse on our children and it starts from the home.

Some of these parents got the wrong upbringing and are also passing it wrongly to their children.

Good parenting takes conscious effort and needs you to work selflessly on yourself.

Child emotional abuse is linked to poor mental development and difficulty making and keeping strong relationships. It can lead to problems in school and at work as well as to criminal behavior. BEWARE
