The School Nurse Observes Parents Interacting with a School-Aged Child

The school nurse observes parents interacting with a school-aged child and notices that they do not show any affection toward the child and there is no evidence of emotional support or supervision. Later the nurse learns from the child that he must take care of all his own hygiene tasks, has to find something to eat on his own, and his parents never say anything nice about him. The nurse at this point believes that the parents are engaging in:

A) physical abuse
B) psychological abuse
C) poor parenting
D) withholding of love
