<![CDATA[This study examines the role of family social support in children's well-being urban environments, where rapid population growth, limited public spaces, and heightened academic and social pressures make children particularly vulnerable to emotional and behavioural challenges. The research aims to understand how emotional, instrumental, and informational support provided by families functions as protective factors that enable children to navigate complex urban realities. Using a qualitative research design, the study collected data through semi-structured interviews, non-participant observations, and document analysis involving parents, children, and community figures in densely populated neighborhoods. The findings reveal that emotional warmth, consistent supervision, and parental guidance significantly strengthen children's resilience, self-regulation, and social adjustment, even amid environmental stressors such as overcrowding and low community cohesion. Children's subjective perceptions of support also emerged as a central determinant of psychological well-being, indicating that relational quality can compensate for limited material resources. The study concludes that adaptive, cohesive, and communicative family systems serve as vital anchors for child development in urban contexts. This research contributes to the existing literature by offering an integrated, context-sensitive understanding of support dynamics and providing empirical insight into how families create emotional safety within high-pressure environments.]]>
