Briefly describe the impact of childhood physical and sexual abuse
Please provide the best answer for the best statement.
1. Physical abuse of children impairs emotional self-development, including self-regulation, empathy, and self-concept. The lack of trust on the part of the child impairs development of friendships and social skills. Further, it has a negative impact on school performance, including lowering of academic motivation and increased behavioral problems in the classroom. Abused children are at greater risk for later emotional, social, and academic problems in adolescence and beyond.
2. Sexual abuse results in difficulty for the abused to trust others or form stable intimate relationships. Victims often experience ongoing depression, high anxiety, and social withdrawal. Adolescent victims may experiment in sexual behaviors ranging from avoidance of intimate contact to promiscuity. Additional consequences of sexual abuse include increased risk for substance abuse, psychological problems, and suicidal behaviors.
