It was found that these relationships have a direct influence on the notion a person has of him/ herself, of the world and of the others, and families and schools play a protagonist role. Best teaching practices can boost mental health in the children. The conclusion is that establishing positive relationships with the children is more important than establishing prevention strategies.esArticle
