Reviewer 3 Report
This study is highly significant in the field of parents’ mental health for young child health in Malaysia. This is an important topic that warrants greater attention in focusing parent’s anxiety for effective intervention.
-
In this study, there is a lack of previous research on the relationship between parental mental health and child physical health, and it is necessary to suggest what role it plays in Malaysia. I am wondering if there is information about children being admitted for febrile seizures in hospitals.
-
In the research methodology, the study clearly indicates how all variables used in this study were measured.
-
This study also discusses what the limitations of this study are.
-
Discussion section needs to contain lots of rich arguments, which is very worthwhile. The points would read better with a clear that what are the summaries of the main findings, what research implications and suggestions for future research are discussed, and what kinds of infant development implications can be made.
