“…Further, these psychological factors should be considered within a broader biopsychosocial model [ 53 ]. Other well-established precursors include, but are not limited to, parental mental health [ 54 ], past adverse childhood experiences [ 55 ] and socio-economic status [ 56 ]. Likewise, participation in PA is influenced by a complex system of psychological, interpersonal and environmental factors [ 50 ].…”

While motivation for physical activity (PA) and PA participation have been linked, research on the relationship between motivation for PA and mental health outcomes is scant, with studies involving children largely underrepresented. Grounded in self-determination theory, this cross-sectional study aimed to determine whether autonomous motivation versus external motivation (a form of controlled motivation) for PA is associated with fewer emotional and behavioural difficulties and higher levels of PA in children. A sample of 87 children (aged 8–12 years) were recruited from five primary schools in Victoria, Australia. An adapted version of the Behavioural Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire (BREQ) was used to measure motivation for PA and structured parent-report questions were used to assess moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) levels. Parents also completed the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) to measure children’s emotional and behavioural difficulties. Children’s autonomous motivation was associated with fewer emotional and behavioural difficulties (β = −0.25, p = 0.038) and higher levels of MVPA (β = 0.24, p = 0.014). These results indicate autonomous motivation is associated with improved mental health outcomes and higher levels of PA in children. Thus, PA interventions that promote autonomous motivation may enhance children’s mental health compared to interventions that promote mainly controlled forms of motivation.

“…When parents or primary caregivers present mental health disorders, they usually have a deficit in parental self-care, which affects the physical and emotional care they provide to their children, making it impossible for them to meet their own needs and those of their children as well as the inability to identify the presence of mental disorders in their children. 27 Parental mental state, parenting styles, and family conditions directly influence the physical and psychological development of a child; aggressive, abusive, distant, or neglectful parents and instability in the family structure, such as divorce or family separation, cause behavioral problems and mental mood, anxiety or substance use disorders in children, associated with the poor emotional and biblical response of the children. 26,28,29 Available evidence establishes that exposure to maltreatment and psychosocial stressors during childhood are important determinants of disease and disability in adulthood.…”

Mental health is a fundamental axis for health, so it is considered a human right to be cared for and protected. Childhood mental disorders alter an individual's physical, psychological and social development, causing various individual and social problems. The Ecosocial and Ecological models allow the identification of the interactions of different protection and risk factors that influence the maintenance of mental health or the appearance of mental disorders. This work aimed to analyze the social determinants of mental health and mental disorders in childhood within the conceptual framework of the Ecosocial and Ecological models, as an initial strategy for developing public policies aimed at the protection of mental health. in the childhood.
