hardship are frequently connected with maltreatment. Children should be sheltered and
experience childhood in sound situations for them to get a decent and conducive environment for
growth as they mature. (Bentovim 2018).
Psychological model is based around the family and its relationship status. It includes one
specific individual from the family being scapegoated by the remainder of the family and getting
the fault for every one of the issues that emerge in the family. Children should be treated equally
hence boosting their self-esteem and social growth.
