Analysis of the Influences of Family Education on Children's Mental Health

Abstract

One of the most important issues in the field of education today is children's mental health, yet there is still a lack of consensus on how it is affected by family education. Therefore, the research topic of this review paper is the influences of family education on children's mental health. The paper finds out that family education has a significant impact on children's mental health. The paper then analyzes different effects that different family education styles have on children's mental well-being. Authoritarian parenting results in depression and anxiety, which also leads children to two extremes--cowardice and rebelliousness. To build equal relationships and therefore promote children's mental health, there must be mutual respect and understanding. Laissez-faire parenting produces apathy, inaction, and weak self-control, which necessitates the proper involvement of parents and the educational system. Inter-generational education develops stubbornness, selfishness, low self-esteem, and sensitivity. To ensure children's mental health, guidance for grandparents is essential, as is strengthening the connection between left-behind children and their parents.
