Research and expert analysis indicate that frequent parental shouting can function as a form of emotional violence, significantly impacting child brain development and psychological security. In her book ‘Worte wie Pfeile’, Anke Elisabeth Ballmann notes that hurtful words can leave lasting traces on a child’s self-acceptance and social interactions.

Long-term consequences of growing up in such environments include the development of constant vigilance and insecurity. As these children reach adulthood, they may exhibit behavioral patterns such as suppressing true feelings to avoid conflict, heightened sensitivity to stress, and an intense sensitivity to loud tones or raised voices in others.
