The Impact of Emotional Support from Family on Children's Growth in English Vocabulary

Abstract

The influence of the emotional environment on cognitive development, specifically language acquisition, has been a pivotal topic in child psychology and pedagogics. This study aims to explore the interplay between emotional support from family and its effect on children's growth in English vocabulary. Utilizing a cross-sectional survey design, data was gathered from a total of 155 children, aged between 9 and 18, and their parents. Multivariable regression models were employed for statistical analysis. The research findings indicate a significant positive correlation between the level of family emotional support and the rate of English vocabulary acquisition in children. The greater the emotional support, the more noticeable the children's English language progress appears to be, highlighting the profound influence of a positive familial emotional climate on English vocabulary acquisition. The study underlines the importance of providing emotional support to children in their journey of language learning, suggesting that parents and educators should consider this aspect in promoting successful English vocabulary development.
