Shouting at children can be as damaging as physical or sexual abuse, study says
theguardian.com
Parents who shout at their children or call them “stupid” are leaving their offspring at greater risk of self-harm, drug use and ending up in jail, new research claims.
Talking harshly to children should be recognised as a form of abuse because of the huge damage it does, experts say.
The authors of a new study into such behaviour say “adult-to-child perpetration of verbal abuse … is characterised by shouting, yelling, denigrating the child, and verbal threats”.
“These types of adult actions can be as damaging to a child’s development as other currently recognised and forensically established subtypes of mistreatment such as childhood physical and sexual abuse,” the academics say in their paper in the journal Child Abuse & Neglect.

This is a generation of soft pussies. Triggered little bitches who can't live in the real world.
Lol. Calm down snowflake. No reason to get offended. You have some big feelings about this but you don't have to be a wuss about it. You can sack up and face them.
How much you wanna bet their parents say the same type of “this generation” things to them?
Or that they get called a pussy by their dad?
Says the guy crying about a scientific study online.
Whose triggered here? It seems like you're the one getting emotional.
If you went through the same type of shit as me growing up, get help. It's much better not feeling angry 24/7.
Found the absolute loser. Guaranteed to be a present or future old single white guy bitching about how the divorce court judge screwed him.
Sounds like you need a hug
why does the real world have to be hard? because you say so and refuse to adapt to gentler standards??
If you're not able to control your emotions well enough to be kind you're the soft one.
So... like trump supporters who cant handle the fact they lost an election you mean?
Did the existence of soft pussies ... trigger you?
