Abstract

Across all cultures parenting is the foundation of early life. Recent research has further shown that the relationship between a mother and her offspring in early infancy forms a basic foundation for the future development of the child and can predict whether the child will experience mental distress in later years. This brief review summarized the risk factors including physical health, mental health, and age of the mother that could instill the long term impact to the child's mental health later in life.
