Emotional and Verbal Abuse Triggered by Insecurities in Adults

Sometimes adults do not even notice when they say the wrong thing to a child. In fact they do not even realize that they are the one with the emotional problem. I am writing this article to help those who have these issues. It is a sad reality that adults have to make the children in their lives feel anything less than what they are. There are some adults that have nothing positive to say to their kids or any kids for that matter. They are consistently bringing them down, whether it be to play or pick on; it is just down right mean. There is a name for it and it is called "bullying".

If an adult in your life is always "correcting" or making fun of a child, this is a sure sign of deep insecurity issues. The adult has to find a weaker vessel to bring down in order to raise them self up. It's a like a verbal and emotional stepping block for them. They feed on making a child (or just anyone) feel inferior.

Many times these people are arrogant in speech, but play it off like it is nothing. Maybe they do not realize what they are doing, but in the meantime there are people who are being abused by their verbal abuse. Children need to be lifted up, loved and they need life spoken to them on a regular basis. When someone that they look up to is bringing them down in their sly and seemingly playful way, all this does is make the child insecure. They will think, "well if "so and so" is telling me this, it is right although it really hurts my feelings."

Adults need to check their emotions and insecurities at the door before they open their mouth to a child. It really shows their maturity level when they feel that they have to bring a child down any and every time they get the chance to. Proves their character and the fact that they are really the one who needs the help.

Top 10 Ways to Be Positive for Insecure Adults

1. Start speaking life. Compliment people, everyday and every chance you get.
2. Remember when you bring others down it is because you have insecurities and they should be dealt with.
3. Kids are sensitive and allowing them to cry will cause them to grow up SECURE!
4. Not allowing a child to cry brings forth insecurities (see where this is going).
5. Remember that no one is against you but yourself. Speak life into yourself!
6. Ignore insults and use them to step up another notch.
7. CRY baby! I always tell my boys that it is okay to CRY - Jesus CRIED and He is as REAL as it gets!
8. When others bring you down, use it to build a stronger Character. Be the opposite of what others say, say nothing but let it show. Smile. Smile some more and SMILE again! It burns them every time.
9. In the midst of their insecurity, you have already come out ahead. So unfortunate for people who can't move past the same hurt that they are causing. My prayers to them!
