Summary: In this article, the authors point out that family structure is fundamental because it affects childrens’ mental health.

3. Title: Family Functioning and Psychological Health of Children with Mentally Ill Parents, March 2019. Authors: Wiegand-Grefe, Silke, Marlit Sell, Bonnie Filter, and Angela Plass-Christl
Summary: This article explicitly shows the connection between parental mental illness and its effects on the development of children. The growing concern is that family’s dysfunctioning is associated with frequent conflicts and cohesion. As pointed out family functioning is at the center of proper development of children. This, therefore, means that in families with food functioning children are likely to have less psychological problems and vice versa. The results in the study present a clear picture of the connection between family life and mental health problems.
Response: Looking at the outcomes and entirety of the literature review, there is not a lot to agree or disagree with here. Indeed the proof is in the facts. This confirms my doubts about my question. Although it may not seem like so, family functioning plays a very fundamental role in the children development. This shows that it is high time parents and members of the society became aware of family functioning as well as how they address these issues. In a sense, there is a need to educate the public or increase awareness about the dangers of the dysfunctioning family to the children development.
