What are the main family factors that affect students' mental health?

Family has a great influence on the physical and mental health of primary and secondary school students. A large number of studies at home and abroad show that bad family environment factors can easily cause abnormal psychological behavior of family members. These factors mainly include: changes in major family members, such as parents' death, parents' divorce or separation, and parents' remarriage. Family relations are tense, such as parents, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, disharmony between brothers and sisters, indifferent family emotional atmosphere, frequent conflicts and so on. Improper family education methods, such as autocracy, coercion, or connivance, laissez-faire, etc. There are family changes, accidents and so on.

(1) Parental relationship

Among many family factors, the bad relationship between parents will have a great adverse impact on the mental health of primary and secondary school students. The negative impact of disharmony between parents on children's mental health is mainly manifested in the following aspects: children live in an environment full of contradictions, parents' demands are always inconsistent, families lack a quiet, peaceful and happy atmosphere, lack all the conditions necessary for children's mental health development, and are in great danger of neuropsychological diseases.

(2) Parents' expectations

Parents' high expectations of their children are one of the important reasons that affect teenagers' mental health. Psychological research shows that parents' expectations of their children are too high or too low, which is not conducive to their mental health and development. Too high expectations will make children have bad psychology such as fear, depression, hostility, while too low expectations will easily make children have low self-evaluation and produce bad psychology such as inferiority and self-abandonment.

(3) Family rearing patterns

Family rearing patterns not only directly affect students' mental health, but also promote, interfere or offset the effect of school education. Bad family upbringing has a bad influence on mental health education of primary and secondary school students. Among primary and middle school students with mental health problems, parents' bad parenting styles such as "inconsistent attitude", "pressure-oriented", "discrimination" and "frequent beating and cursing" have a certain relationship with students' personality, intelligence and the possibility of psychological problems.

(D) role models of family members

Many psychologists have studied the relationship between parents' ideological and moral qualities and children's mental health, and found that parents' own bad ideological and moral qualities have serious harm to children's mental health. This kind of harm is mainly manifested in: when children find their parents' bad behavior, their self-esteem will be hurt, which will cast a negative shadow on their psychology and produce emotions such as depression, resentment, trouble and inferiority. Negative personality makes them hate the collective and family. Once you come into contact with bad friends or bad ideas, it is particularly easy to go astray. In a family where parents are not themselves right, parents lose their prestige in children's minds, they can't manage their children reasonably, and children don't trust their parents, which is easy to produce unhealthy psychology such as hypocrisy and selfishness.
