How Family Relationships Influence Mental Health Beliefs And Coping Skills
Emotional development and beliefs of mental health depend on family relationships. Childhood experiences with parents and caregivers influence the way in which individuals perceive emotions, stress and their coping styles. Families that support and nurture their children teach children that they are normal in their feelings and they can handle them hence giving them confidence in the face of challenges. On the other hand, conflictual, neglected, or criticizing families may raise pessimistic thoughts regarding personal value and emotionality. This is because early experiences shape the ways in which people internalize stress, perceive challenges and the perceived presence of support that they may carry well into adulthood.
