Yelling at and pressuring a small child: What effect does this have on their mentality?
Before anyone misunderstands: I'm not yet of legal age, I don't have children, and I don't plan on having any. There's another reason why I'm asking this question, but I can't and won't reveal it. I also don't want to give mean or stupid answers. If someone is well-versed in psychology , they're welcome to provide an answer.
I realize it's not okay to constantly yell at and pressure young children, for example, when doing homework because parents insist that the children do their assignments "perfectly." However, that's not what I'm concerned with in this question. I want to know what mental health issues they might be developing.
For example, an anxiety disorder ?
Will they have difficulties later in their social and professional life when they are at work and the boss yells at them on a bad day?
* By the way, I have mental health issues myself for other reasons. But I still know very little about psychology.

Hello, constantly yelling at a child can cause them to develop an anxious, avoidant personality, meaning they quickly become anxious and very shy. The child may also set excessive expectations for themselves (due to constant criticism), which can lead to inferiority complexes. During the developmental phase of a (young) child, their future personality is largely "shaped." Anxiety disorders may also develop. This wouldn't do any child any favors. They could have to bear the consequences for a long time, if not the rest of their lives. Children don't have to be able to do everything yet; they should be given time and appropriate training for this.
Ja, das kann sein.
Die Folge von dieser Angst ist oft, dass diese Kinder anfangen zu lügen. Sie wollen Ärger entgehen und ihre Eltern stolz machen, also sthen sie nicht mehr zu Fehlern, verschweigen Probleme und stellen die Leistungen anderer als ihre dar.
Dieses Verhalten bekommt man schwer wieder raus und auch im Berufsleben bleibt oft der erste Impuls, bei Kritik zu rufen, dass man es selbst ja nicht war.
Das tut keinem Kind gut und traumatisiert wohl jedes Kind .
Zwei sehr gute Kanäle die das sehr gut erklären und helfen aufzuarbeiten sind diese Hier :

So much depends on it. Whether the child is "robust" or rather whiny, whether they take criticism seriously or lightly, whether they have other people who encourage them, or whether they're just being yelled at.
Some children then withdraw completely, others say even more, I'll show you that I'm a great person.
Some people recover in adulthood, for others it stays with them for the rest of their lives.
But with a child you can never say in advance which direction it will go.
But what can be said on the whole is that such children have a harder time developing a healthy self-confidence
