The development of internalizing symptoms in children is a complex process involving various factors. In particular, research has linked parenting practices, child victimization, and peer relationships to the development of internalizing problems. In this article, previous studies that have examined the association between these factors are reviewed. Overall, the studies highlighted that children are at risk of developing internalizing symptoms when they are exposed to negative parenting practices, victimization, and poor peer relationships. Findings can contribute to children’s psychosocial and psycho-emotional empowerment by designing appropriate prevention and intervention programs.
