*Questions and answers addressed during the talk show*
*1.How do you recognise emotional abuse in a child??*
When you understand how a child behaves and see a difference , please pay attention, ask questions from the child and take actions
Some could relate to puberty changes in the child..this is gradual
But for emotional changes the change is instant and too fast
*2.At what point does correcting a child move to emotional abuse???*
There is a difference between discipline and punishment
Watch words you say to a child...speaking abusive word often is a form of abuse on a child...try to change your approach and avoid anger
*3. What should a mother do if she discovers the abuser is a family member???*
If it's a close family member...its a child that needs protection more than the adult abuser...so avoid keeping that child around the abuser....take protective measures
*4.What responsibility do we have as women in addressing other children not yours been abused???*
This depends on the relationship you have with the family and the child...if you have a good relationship with the family, please address it with them....avoid broadcasting such issues with external persons ...you can also involve the police where needful...but please dont keep quiet
