Psychological effects can trigger the formation of abnormal character traits and inhibit the development of the child. Often, teachers, educators, and parents themselves in relation to children show a psychological kind of cruelty. An example of this can be a criticism of the child with or without; verbal threats; remarks and insults that humiliate children; intentional isolation; falsehood and failure to fulfill these promises; severe mental impact, which causes a child mental trauma.

The process of education is a road strewn with stones, so you should be patient. Do not make from your child
perfect. It doesn’t happen that a baby knows and knows everything equally well. Praise him for doing better than others, and don’t scold him for failing. Never compare your children with others, take the success of other people just as information. Do not blackmail the child with phrases like “I tried for you, but you ...”. This is a bad attempt to shame your child. Many children respond to such a statement that they did not ask them to give birth. If an unpleasant situation occurred with outsiders, then do not start to report the child right away. Take him home and have a conversation without witnesses. Do not be ashamed of strangers. And most importantly - love your baby, often tell him about it, caress and praise. This is the best protection for children from abuse.
