THE INFLUENCE OF FAMILY DISHARMONY ON CHILDREN'S MENTALITY IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Abstract

Children's mental health is a critical aspect of their overall well-being, allowing them to cope with life pressures, realize their potential, and engage effectively in learning and social activities. This study explores the impact of family disharmony on the mental health of elementary school students. Utilizing qualitative research methods, the study involved interviews with teachers and students to understand how family conflicts affect children's emotional conditions, school performance, and social interactions. The findings indicate that children exposed to family disharmony often experience stress, anxiety, and depression, leading to reduced concentration, low motivation, and difficulty in socializing with peers. Teachers play a crucial role in supporting these children, yet the negative impacts of family disharmony remain significant. The study underscores the importance of addressing family issues to protect and enhance children's mental health and academic success.
