How parents can support a child who self-injures

Until you wear my yellow vest, my mother remembers the day she discovered herself injured - June 4, 2004 -

Because I do not know how to cope with extreme pain due to sexual abuse, I began to burn myself a few months ago.

I know that someone will hurt me. Does this mean that it was abused as a child? Some children abusing their children continue to hurt themselves, but not all self-injured have a history of child abuse. If you would like to know more about your personal self-experience, what are the four types of child abuse, which brings the highest risk of self injury? Researchers are not consensus on what type of child abuse is the strongest predictor of self-injury; different types are certainly related to NSSI's behavior in different ways. Ignorance is most relevant to the severity of self injuries. Although sexual abuse is clearly irrelevant to NSSI's behavior, people with a history of sexual abuse may show risk factors similar to self-injurious acts (Klonsky, ED, & Moyer, A. 2008).

What is the relationship between child abuse and self-injurious behavior? 79% of self-hermers report physical and / or sexual abuse during childhood. Both suicidal and non-suicidal self-injuries have an impact, and the details of this relationship are contradictory in current scientific research. Why is there a relationship between self-injury and child abuse? Researchers believe that child abuse may lead to self-harming behavior. In the framework there are three different ways of overlap and dialogue. These routes are as follows. Regulation, expression and responsiveness. During child abuse these pathways did not develop properly and resulted in adaptation to normal living. Self-injurious behavior is regarded as a method to compensate for abnormality of each route. (Lang, C. M., & Sharma-Patel, K, 2011)

The school is responsible for informing the child of self-injurious behavior to the child. If a student's self-harming parent is not making efforts to ask for external counseling or to help the child, that behavior may be considered negligent. It is the responsibility of the school to report parental negligence to the local child protection organization. The purpose of parents' participation is to allow students to receive external referral services. Depending on the circumstances, parents may be required to: • Initiate outpatient visits for children and / or families. • I agree that the child will receive better academic and / or counseling assistance at school. Communicate with external experts to support students 8
