The present research is aimed at providing an account of early childhood abuse and its effects on further emotional development.

Emotional: Emotional child abuse is a form of behaviour that effects a child’s emotional development and sense of wellbeing. Signs of emotional abuse can vary by age and even gender. Children suffering form emotional mistreatment can become overly aggressive or extremely withdrawn, they may even show signs of both. The signs of emotional abuse can be hard to detect and even harder to link, as a direct cause, to verbal and psychological maltreatment. Some typical characteristics of children suffering emotional abuse may include, low self-confidence, becoming detached and finding it difficult to form relationships, the child maybe become aggressive towards others and may refrain form making eye contact when being spoken to or interacting with others. In older children alcohol or drug abuse can be an indicator of emotional abuse.

The people doing it or seeing it may not even know that it is happening. Emotional abuse can change a thought of a child. A positive to a negative if you will. Then eventually many thoughts a child may have will direct to completely negative. Emotional abuse can be crippling to a child’s everyday life. Humiliation, judging, criticizing and degradation are just some forms of emotional abuse. Verbal abuse is not the same, but can identify with the silent scars as emotional abuse. These kinds of abuses will interfere with a child’s development and may be more likely to have self-esteem issues than most children. The physiological effect will ultimately damage a bond between the child, and the attacker.

The safety and security of many children across the world are in danger due to physical abuse. Child abuse has been linked to an assortment of changes in the brain which result in psychological, behavioral, and academic problems. While it is unclear whether the population that had been maltreated as children is accurate, physical maltreatment in the first 5 years of life places a child at risk for a variety of psychological and behavioral problems during adolescence. The following three literature reviews attempts to prove and support the premise.

There are significant signs of psychological trauma due to any kind of abuse. Children experience feelings of low self esteem and depression. Many exhibit behavioral problems including aggression towards other children. Other emotional problems include hostility, fear, humiliation and the inability to express feelings. The social impacts of physical abuse include inability to form relationships, poor social skills, poor cognitive language skills, distrust of others, over-compliance with authority figures, and tendency to solve interpersonal problems with aggression. (2008, p. 1). Verbal and physical abuse has a cumulative impact on children’s socialization. Abused children are caught in damaged relationships and are not socialized in positive, supportive way (Craig & Dunn, Ex.: 2010, p. 196). They learn defiance, manipulation and other problem behaviors that are used to escape any maltreatment. In turn they will learn to exploit, degrade and terrorize.

There are many people who are abused when they are children but we don’t think about how this affects the abused when they are adults. Abuse comes in many forms; physical, verbal, and emotional. Abuse can scar a person mentally and emotionally for the rest of their life. People that have been abused often have to resort to therapy to deal with the demons of their past. How does this mentally affect people who were abused as children?

This piece of work will seek to focus on how social and emotional development is affected in a child aged 13; the two key issues it will focus on are family structure and abuse. As a child is growing, development can be affected by a number of different factors. Family structure is important, as most, if not all interactions young people have influence them in overt ways. It should also be noted that physical, mental or emotional abuse will also affect the way people approach others, as well as the emotions people feel when in contact with others.

Emotional abuse that occurs in the family household is an underrated form of abuse that affects many teenagers all across Canada and the world. It is detrimental and can be even fatal, if not brought to light. “In 2005, UNICEF estimated that 133–275 million children worldwide are exposed to violence in the family.” There are two main focuses to this topic, one including how emotional abuse effects an individual and the other being why does emotional abuse occur. Emotional abuse effects the individual by psychologically destroying them and in turn they become very vulnerable and susceptible to accepting other forms of abuse.

You’re Ugly! Stupid! Can you do anything right? I wished you were never born! Does any of these words sound familiar or bring back memories.

We never know what is going through a child’s mind when being a witness of abuse, especially when they are young. When a child grows up at such horrid environment, they're view in life changes automatically making them believe that this is the way of life. As these abused children get older, they do not know how to control what they feel in the inside and end up expressing it by taking their anger out on others, simply because that’s what they have “learned” in life”. “Abused children cannot express emotions safely. As a result, the emotions get stuffed down, coming out in unexpected ways. Adult survivors of child abuse can struggle with unexplained anxiety, depression, or anger” (Child Abuse and Neglect 1).however, though, the child does not evolve into a negative environment by being abused, the path that could also lead to a young child’s mind into negativity would be witnessing any kind of abuse within the house.

Bullying is aggressive behaviour that generally occurs among school children. It is a repeated behaviour, sometimes repeated over time. (StopBullying, n.d.) Bullying is the misuse of power by a group of people or an individual towards another person. Bullying can be physical, verbal or emotional.
