what is the difference between emotional and verbal abuse?

Question

How would this effect young children in school?

Answer 1

well i am not an expert on psychology but i would guess than emotional abuse is the result of being verbally abused and mistreated by others verbally . although thinking about it emotional abuse can also be inflicted by parents who fight constantly and not necessarily abuse verbally the kid but each other leading to emotional distress ( for the kid ) and therefor being put into a situation which he doesn't deserve . things like saying to a little kid : did u see what my father did to me or can't u believe what your father is doing could all be called emotional abuse .

about how would it affect that to children at school , well i think that being abused verbally or emotionally would affect any kid in more than one way . from what i know there is some kids which become aggressive and bully others , some become moody , others stop paying attention when spoken to . i think the symptoms could be very diverse and a different history in every kid and I'm sure most would be affected negatively at their school grades .

Answer 2

Verbal abuse is like a direct verbal attack.
Emotional abuse results from verbal abuse that scars emotionally, not just hurting feelings, as well as (a situation in the case of little children), embarrassing a child in front of the class.

Answer 3

The emotion to me comes from the verbal abuse. I know this first hand. I have a daughter who is now 15 years old. I recently ended a relationship that lasted 6 1/2 years. It was emotional, verbal, and abusive. I will never in a million years put myself through that again. My daughter failed dramatically in school. I was constantly mad at her for getting D's and F's. I later asked myself why I'm I mad at her when I should be mad at myself for putting her through this crap. I had very low self esteem, my motivation was low, I was also embarrassed by my daughter. The embarrassment came from being hit in front of her, yelled at, and name calling. As a woman I feel neither a man or a woman should put their self through this ever!! It could almost be life threating, for the both of you. I hope you are not a victim. If so please get out of it as soon as possible. You will thank yourself later. P. S. my daughter now gets A's and B's since I have ended the relationship.

Answer 4

Emotional can be a result of verbal, but emotional can also be a result of non-verbal actions and behaviors.

If a child is given a certain look or repeatedly overlooked for answers or help, that child will start to develop negative feelings. That's not exactly abuse though. It has to be pretty extreme.

It also depends who it is coming from. Is it a teacher or a fellow classmate? If one student repeatedly does mean things to another student's belongings, that'd be emotional abuse.

Answer 5

i have been informed i'm emotionally abusive no longer with the aid of what I say in the direction of the fellow yet my reactions to undesirable situations at the same time as being contained in the vacinity of that man or woman. as an example, screaming at a motor vehicle who decrease me off can make the passenger sense dissatisfied and emotional.. Emotional abuse, from what I carry jointly might want to no longer be what you're saying to someone even if the way you're saying it. Verbal abuse are the words themselves. if you're an indignant man or woman and scream and yell about the undesirable **** that takes position each of the time you may want to be emotionally abusing your major different or associates with the aid of creating them sense uncomfortable even once you do not mean to. that is how I comprehend it.

Answer 6

emotional abuse is mainly breaking a persons self worth. you know by always saying things like your stupid. verbal abuse occurs when you are constantly using swear words. but if you look at them you will find that emotional abuse comes from negative verbal expressions. so hey they actuall could be the same thing.

Answer 7

for me they both go together. because they both eat away at your self esteem over time. and the scars outlast any physical harm because bruises heal eventually on the outside not to easy on the inside.
