Parents who are not good sleepers
Disharmony in family relationships Stress from moving, unemployment, siblings, etc..
Life and
family events premigration and postmigration have been found to have a profound effect on the health and well - being of immigrant children.1, 2 Risk factors include trauma, separation from parents, nonvoluntary migration, obstacles
in the acculturation process, 3 and children who immigrate
in their mid - or late teens.1, 4 Research also shows that parents who have experienced or witnessed violence have poorer mental health, 2,5 which is likely to affect parent — child attachment and negatively impact child development and mental health.5 Transitioning to a new country may be beneficial for both parents and children, but it may render new and unexpected constraints
in the parent — child
relationship (eg, children tend to acculturate to the new country faster than their parents), cause
disharmony and power conflicts, 6 — 8 and, subsequently, affect the child's mental health.9
