The Lifelong Impact of Shouting at Kids: On Par with Abuse
TL;DR Summary
Researchers from UCL and Wingate University have conducted a systematic review highlighting the need to recognize childhood verbal abuse as a distinct subtype of child maltreatment. The study emphasizes the importance of consistent definitions and measurements of verbal abuse, as it can have lasting emotional and psychological repercussions on children. Verbal abuse, including actions like shouting and threats, can lead to increased risks of anger, depression, substance abuse, self-harm, and obesity. The study calls for targeted prevention efforts and the identification of childhood verbal abuse as a standalone subtype to address its harmful effects.
