In terms of hurting someone's feelings, adults are just as sensitive to criticism and being marginalised, as children are. They both don't tolerate such things, except that one is expected to behave more mature in times of conflict.

However, if a child isn't given regard and praise by their parents or their peers by a certain age (forgot), then bad stuff happens and they start to be insecurely attached (counselling term - need to lookup what it means), and they end up being ____ (forgot - need to ask), as they have missed a part of their Key Stages (Carl Rogers). This could cause them to gain particular personality disorders.

Being given praise, regard, and acceptance as a child, is crucially important for their child development.
