Through a statistical deal, the result shows that the weights of these infants are slight, that they can only recognize their parents slowly, that their parents are in low educated levels. That the emotion between their parents is always not so harmonious, and that their parents always treat their children with different attitudes. In short, all these factors are in close connection with the incidence of abnormal mental health of these children.
