The Yahya and Knooz series dealt with the issue of bullying through the story of Mazen, who was bullied because of his weight gain, which gives us the opportunity to raise awareness of this problem. Bullying is of different types and among the worst types is parental bullying of their children, so the seventh day highlights the dangers of parental bullying in the following lines. On children, according to Shaima Iraqi, a family and behavior modification consultant.

Parental bullying is the most dangerous type of bullying

The family consultant told Al-Youm Al-Sabea: “Parents use some words, expressions, sarcasm, and sarcasm from their children unconsciously in daily life situations, unaware of the psychological abuse and harm inflicted on them, so the bullying that parents do against their children is considered one of the most dangerous types of bullying against the child. The family and parents are the child’s haven, psychological stability, and source of security for him. When the child loses a sense of safety, support, and motivation, his source of inspiration becomes an essential element in his psychological disorder.

And she continued: “The family may take offensive words for the child, you are a failure, you look dishonorable, you are too short, or mocking curly hair, and mocking the general appearance of the child makes him lose self-confidence and enhance his social withdrawal away from the family and his social interaction decreases, and he is inconsistent with time with his peers.” At school, or his family, away from the arrows of their reckless words by slandering and insulting once, beating and insulting again, and abuse of the child and excessive punishment, which is a dangerous type of physical bullying for the child.

Some psychological effects on the child’s personality:

Withdrawal symptoms such as excessive shyness and intense fear of engaging in social activities

The child may develop bedwetting and lose control of himself due to the constant bullying

Horrible dreams, insomnia, and disturbed sleep are also signs of child bullying and its harmful effects

Suicidal tendencies and the desire to get rid of life are the effects of bullying on a child

Loss of appetite and not wanting to eat are also signs of bullying

Falling behind in class and school achievement, being late in grades, and sleeping during classes are also signs of bullying. Therefore, the family must be aware of the step of bullying their children, whether with understanding and awareness, or if the bullying is intended to humiliate and punish the child.

Mothers may resort to emotional discharge of the child in the event of marital problems by beating, humiliating or belittling the child. Therefore, the family must contain, support and support the child, refrain from describing the child with bad words, and deliberately address all the effects of bullying resulting from child abuse.
