    Hello Vaneja

    Quite a interesting post you gave us here to say the least, statistics statistics it seems that today everything as to be in a nice little box that somehow comforts us, human nature is what it is altough I agree some kids with low income parents or ''parent'' are more subject to pessimism I would not go so far to say its the norme.

    Children the way I see it are like sponges...rich or poor parents they learn what they see and hear simple as that, to categorize pessimism in low income famillys to me is a reflection of how in our society we tend to put value in dollar signs...shame on us for that.

    They are millions of children around the world that dont have all the commoditys and wealth that us north americans indulge in, I like to think that I am well traveled and I can assure you that I have seen ''poor kids'' that  are most optimistic regardless of the condition they live in thay are the salt of this earth greeting you along the way with a smile and bright shiny eyes parents who learn them to share the little they have.

    In my opinion wealth and poverty in a family can be a double edge sword so to speak.

    While I am not well traveled, mental health issues are envirmental, trauma, lack of love and support of the parent (s) is key to optimisim or pessimissim.  It is a scary and unstable home life if children are subjected to fighting parents, peer pressure, divorce and so on.  As well as family history of mental illness.
