Abstract

Background: Children's mental health is a condition where children are physically, psychologically, spiritually, and socially healthy so that they can socialize well, control their emotions, influence positive thinking, and handle stress. School-age children are in a period of forming self, moral, social, and emotional concepts, so if the child's growth and development are not achieved then the child cannot be controlled emotionally. Objective: This research aims to determine the relationship between self-esteem and peer relationships on the mental health of school children. Method: This research is a quantitative research with a cross-sectional method. The population in this study were students in grades 4-6 at SDN Kangenan 1 Pamekasan Regency with a total of 73 students.
