Children that are physically abused often show clear signs of trauma through bruising, cuts, or similar visible manifestations. However, it is tougher to detect that your child is being emotionally mistreated by a daycare worker. Emotional abuse, sometimes called psychological abuse, can involve a worker acting to scare, isolate, humiliate, reprehend, ignore your child, or engage in improper touching. Signs of daycare abuse are often more subtle and generally are not covered by the daily news. Abused children often withdraw from friends, change behavior, isolate themselves, are more quiet, or show a lower amount of confidence.
