Verbal abuse: How to save a child from it. Understanding and preventing.Children are arguably the most vulnerable members of society. They are in the process of developing a sense of self, learning the ways of the world, and internalizing thought and behavior patterns that will accompany them for life. When a child is surrounded by supportive adults, like parents, caretakers, teachers, and coaches, they are likely to feel encouraged and safe as they begin to test how their ideas fit into the world. What happens, however, if a child does not have supportive adults around them? What if a child encounters a verbally abusive adult in their lives?In this book, you will learn what verbal abuse is, what damage it might cause and how to help verbally abused children and adults, who were abused as children.It seems like a far-fetched idea that any adult could intentionally verbally abuse a child. There is no logical reason for that type of behavior, and one might think - why would it happen? Unfortunately, it does happen. Here you will find the reason why it happens and how to prevent yourself from abusing children. More importantly, you will learn how to save a child from damage that was caused by verbal abuse.Children learn and develop by observing the adults around them and internalizing the values, thoughts, and behaviors they are witness to. A child who is verbally abused is at risk of internalizing very damaging self-evaluations and patterns of thinking. Do not wait! Prevent your child from this danger!
