Interpersonal Relationship Between Parents and Its Impact on Mental Health of Children

The family plays an important role in the development of a person as an active participant in the life of society. When a child is born and grows up in a family, the system of relationships in the family that has been developing for years has an impact on the child's psychology. They are influenced by the interpersonal relationships of adults in the family with each other and with their children, i.e. communication, behavior, and attitude toward the child. This effect ultimately affects the child's way of understanding the world, his attitude toward the environment, and even his way of thinking. It would be wrong to consider this effect as negative or positive in the same direction. Because under certain conditions, a child's susceptibility to family influence can have different results depending on how he reacts to these influences. If the educational influence exerted by adults can be compared with existing social norms, the child will most likely follow the model that is considered positive for him. But life experience and observations show that the educational power of the family, especially in the child's preschool age, is high, and during this period the influence of adults in the family on the child can be of primary importance. Therefore, we have sufficient grounds to speak about a direct connection between personality traits and even the formation of a way of thinking and methods of educational influence in the family.
