Factors and causes of emotional abuse of kindergarten children

Abstract

The young age stages are among the important life stages in which the human personality is formed. Therefore, preserving children in this important period from various violations, especially emotional abuse, is a very important thing to know the problems that children are exposed to in the kindergarten stage. The difficulty of communicating with the child at this stage is considered One of the most important problems that impede monitoring cases of emotional abuse that he is exposed to, whether these violations are intentional or unintentional. Therefore, relying on other tools in monitoring these cases is important, and the use of the family and school in monitoring these cases is a must, due to the difficulty of communicating with the child.

In this period, there is difficulty in expressing himself and the feelings he feels and defining his urgent needs. In this research, we tried to differentiate between physical abuse of the child, sexual abuse, and emotional abuse. Notice the lack of dialogue with the child, the failure to maintain a minimum level of communication with him, the failure to try to understand him and put him in the accusation box, while he is unable to defend himself and the lack of understanding of his need to play and discover the world around him in his usual and natural childish way.

The research has tried to monitor the causes and factors of emotional abuse that the child is exposed to in the Riyadh stage and try to find solutions to it by defining the responsibility that lies with the school and the responsibility that rests with the family. The research has tried to provide advice to both the family and the school in dealing with the needs of the child in the stage Riyadh because it is one of the sensitive stages that a child passes through.
