This project examines how the mental health of a parent affects their child’s development of their socio-emotional functioning. Specifically, this paper will address how a parent could impact their child’s development, with poor parental mental health contributing to children experiencing difficulty regulating their emotions, whereas positive parental mental health contributes to a higher ability in children to regulate their emotions. Additionally, the factors involved in the development of socio-emotional functions, such as parenting skills and what parenting types are employed, will be explored.
