Warning Signs
Giving your child enough love and attention is very important. Sometimes, even if you try your best, your child might feel neglected. Tap to read warning signs.
Withdrawal
If your child suddenly becomes withdrawn, refusing to interact or communicate with others, he/she may be feeling neglected.
Seeking Attention
However, on the other hand, if they keep looking for attention even using negative behaviour, it may mean that they are seeking more positive attention from those who take care of them.
Changes in Behaviour
A significant change in attitude with increased aggression or over-submission may be a red flag that shows neglect.
Difficulty in Relationships
Struggling to form or maintain relationships with peers or family members might suggest feelings of neglect, as they might not have learned healthy relationship patterns.
Decline in Academic
A sudden drop in school grades could point out emotional distress and hence, feelings of being ignored, which affect concentration and involvement.
Physical Symptoms
In this case, physical symptoms like stomachaches or headaches without any apparent medical cause might simply be manifestations of emotional distress originating from neglect.
Lack of Interest in Activities
If your child loses interest in activities they used to enjoy, it could be a sign that they're feeling disconnected and neglected.
Self-Esteem Issues
Persistently low self-esteem or negative self-talk may indicate that they’re internalising a sense of insignificance or worthlessness.
