relationships at young ages

Emily Miklaski, Editor-In-Chief

have you ever wondered how our interactions with the people
around us determine that and other aspects of our lives?

family relationships, friendships, acquaintanceships, and romantic
relationships. Each relationship serves a different purpose and can
impact people in different ways.

Davis, the relationship between a child and their family or primary
caregivers typically sets the tone for all future relationships in life.

and developmental age, not only will this relationship affect the child
emotionally, but in some cases mentally and physically. Furthermore,
Davis states that negative relationships at a young age such as
childhood trauma can linger with an individual for their entire lives

and cause various mental health issues.
