Hi anyone could help me on this ?

Alyssa is a seven-year-old girl. Her mother is a very figure-conscious woman who was popular among the boys in her class during her younger years. Whenever Alyssa wants to eat sweets for snacks and dessert, her mother would often make comments like, “Don’t eat too much. You’ll get fat and not have a boyfriend when you’re older” or “Boys only like slim girls.” This scares Alyssa, and compels her not to eat sweets.

Is this consider a dynamic abuse ?
If yes , in what area?
Age, gender or sexuality ?

Thanks and appreciated if anyone could help me on this ?

I was thinking of abusing on gender but not sure whether am i on the right track?

Hi Veron, I think it's emotional/psychological abuse.

I agree its emotional abuse but our choices are limited and I believe it to be either age or gender as she is psychologically abusing her by causing self-esteem issues for weight etc but also gender as it specifies that she won't be popular with the boys and boys don't like fat girls.

I'm confused which one

I'm still confused over which one it is.....
