description As it will be highlighted in this literature review, there is a connection between family of origin and the capacity of the person to form attachments and regulate emotions. It depicts how family structure, parenting styles, and emotional climate impose on psychological growth throughout the years of life. First, the focus of the study is to indicate that attachment and emotional regulation are intertwined, as established by the demonstration of how a secure attachment enhances emotion regulation. On the other hand, anxious or avoidant attachments may result in difficulty in working through issues and psychological symptoms. Therefore, the present paper aims at reviewing the literature on different family environments and their impact on children's emotional well-being, with special reference to nuclear and single-parent families. It also examines the roles of the family communication patterns and the conflict resolution styles in the development of emotional regulation skills. Finally, the implications of the study underscore the importance of the family of origin as a source of emotional well-being and interpersonal relations and provide guidance for future investigations and therapeutic approaches toward psychological well-being.
