Childhood is ideally a time of happiness, and therefore, it is not too far-fetched to assume that children should be vibrant and happy individuals who should spend their time laughing, playing and learning as they grow up. However, while some children do get an opportunity to have happy and fulfilling lives, there are others who live their lives overwhelmed by feelings of anger, fear, resentment, and insecurity. These powerful emotions may stem from a number of things that are not directly in their control – including the financial or emotional conditions of their parents, their cultural and social circumstances, abuse by parents or peers and much more. This paper argues that childhood experiences have a deep and profound effect on children,

Shaken Baby syndrome (SBS) is recognised as the most dangerous and elusive form of child abuse. Moreover, it is the leading cause of death and/or long-term neurological disability in infants younger than two years of age (Bechtel et al, 2011).

Child maltreatment is a crucial social problem which is related to a complex of various aspects of the functioning of society and its beneficial evolution. The growth of the level of attention devoted to the problems of upbringing resulted in the appearance of a number of important questions. The relations within a family, the condition sunder which a child grows and factors that influence the formation of his/her psyche are the major concerns related to the issue of child maltreatment and its investigation.

The influence of childhood trauma holds a great amount of impact on one’s adulthood and decision-making abilities. According to Sigmund Freud, all children experience an Oedipus complex with their parents - a sense of rivalry with their same-sex parent for the attention of their opposite-sex parent (Lampl-de Groot 335). Within the context of Chinua Achebe’s novel Things Fall Apart, the reader witnesses how this complex is exercised in Okonkwo’s childhood. As the warrior from Umuofia grows up ashamed of his effeminate father, Unoka, the experience results in his psyche being dominated by hypermasculinity and guilt in adulthood. The presence of a father figure, or lack thereof, has an abundant influence on the child he raises, specifically for young men.
