Physical and emotional violence in childhood increases the risk of addictions in adult life

Physical and emotional violence in childhood increases the risk of addictions in adult life

A study at the University of Queensland in Australia found that physical and emotional child abuse can even triple the risk of a child suffering from depression throughout their lives. The research also showed that other problems such as cigarette smoking and drugs such as alcohol, suicidal behavior and risky sexual behaviors can also be triggered by child maltreatment. The results of this study were published on November 27 in the journal PLoS Medicine .

The authors reviewed 124 studies on the subject and noted that the child's chances of developing depression triple if she suffered some form of abuse emotional (receiving threats, having their behavior depreciated) and double in the case of children who have suffered only physical abuse when compared to those who have never suffered any type of violence. According to the authors, children who have suffered physical or emotional neglect or abuse tend to develop risky behaviors that can lead to chronic illness throughout life. They claim that all forms of maltreatment should be considered as important risk factors for the child's health.

Most common errors in raising children

The child cries, questions the boundaries and challenges parents, and the first way out is for threats or even physical violence. But to what extent can authority come? There is no formula for how to educate, but psychologists say that dialogue is always the best alternative. They give advice to avoid some of the mistakes most parents make when teaching.

No explanations

Rules are easier to follow if they are understood. Simply saying "can not", "you're not going" can make the child angry because he does not understand why. The demonstration of affection helps to show that you impose rules because you want the good of the child.

Telling little lies

Telling that the "boogeyman" can pick up the child if he does not eat salad is not always a good way to to educate. According to the psychologist Rosmairi Oliveira, from São Paulo, the child is always very attentive to the behavior of the parents and can perceive the small lies and start to lie too.

Making threats

It is common for parents to threaten the child with punishment to take something good from you, or to give you something good. "This is conditioning the behavior without showing the importance of it," says psychologist Rosmairi. In addition, threatening unfulfilled is even worse: this weakens the morals of the parents, because the word is arid, authoritarian and even false.

Overeating While Breastfeeding Increases Baby's Risk of Obesity

Breastmilk is the best food for babies and should be exclusive until the six months. The benefits of breastfeeding, such as better immunity, for example, show throughout the child's life. However, American research has found that when the mother does not have a healthy and moderate diet during breastfeeding, the risk of obesity, diabetes, precocious puberty and reduced fertility is increased.
