Avoidance in Family Creates Poor Mental Health in Children

Family relations are an essential factor for the overall development of child.  It influences personality, attitude, thoughts and beliefs, social skills, emotional and psychological health.  Children who are successful and well developed came from families where positive relationships existed between them and their parents, whereas children, who are discouraged and rejected at home they, might suffer from mental health problems. This assumption is tested in the present study. For this study 1620 children belonging in upper, middle and lower society ranged in age from 8 to 10 were randomly selected from different cities of Maharashtra states of India. Family relationship inventory and mental health questionnaire administered to the participated students. The obtained data analyzed by one-way analysis of variance. The results revealed that the mental health of children belonging in upper, and lower class society is affected due to the avoidance family relationships.
