Types of Psychological Maltreatment (cont.)

Other ways a parent or caretaker can be emotionally abusive include:

  • Not giving the child enough attention
  • Providing only conditional love (love that is based only on the child achieving or meeting the parents' expectations)
  • Being cold and remote; not forming a loving, close relationship with the child
  • Isolating the child from friends or interesting activities
