Abuse and abuse of animals
Introduction.
Abuse towards animals made by children out of being as normal, can indicate the existence of a deeper problem: children who abuse animals can be victims of domestic abuse, sexual abuse or bullying. In these cases, the child may be expressing the pain he feels as a victim through the abuse of more vulnerable victims;In this case the animals.
Cruelty towards animals can be the only visible sign of a family where there is abuse: while abuse towards children and women usually occurs in private, abuse towards animals is usually committed openly. Violence is violence: a person who abuses animals has no empathy towards other living beings and has the risk of generating violence against people.
Developing.
On a psychological level, animal abuse is indicating that there are cognitive dysfunctionalities, (erroneous ways of interpreting power and control). There are several authors who have alerted this phenomenon throughout history as an indicator of psychological mismatch. The doctor. Frank Ascione, considers that animal abuse is a significant form of aggressive and antisocial behavior that could add one more piece to the puzzle of knowledge and prevention of youth violence. In addition, as Lock-Out and Ascione, they pointed out, acts of cruelty towards animals are considered as minor crimes.
How we could avoid that behavior towards animals;Various research has shown that educating minors transmitting positive values towards all living beings is a very important element for the prevention of cruel acts against animals, facilitating the development of empathy even towards humans.
We must instill in the child since childhood to develop the sense of responsibility, of concern for others, in addition to collaborating in the development of self – esteem, socialization and cooperation. If when we are children instead of receiving acceptance, we are repressed or ignore with the ability to self – esteem damaged. Surely we realize this and we will understand that precisely being empathic with our children is how we will help you develop this capacity.
How to form social and empathic children;The social behavior can be defined as all positive social behavior that is carried out to benefit another in the presence (or not) of altruistic motivation, such as giving, helping, cooperating, sharing. Human beings are empathic, but this capacity can be promoted or canceled according to the way we are educated and treated from childhood. Children learn from what we do, not what we say to do.
Conclusions.
The example that will make them assimilate that people are able to understand the other, put themselves in their shoes, move and share emotions without judgments. Our attitude and the way you speak to others and others is what they will understand. First we must tell you about feelings, children need to develop an emotional vocabulary to express their feelings and learn to ask for help, express their emotions, name and identify them. Eg.;You are angry, you feel anger, you’re happy, you’re afraid. All this is essential for healthy emotional development.
