    (UMT, Lahore, 2023) Abdul Rehman
    In this research, the aim was to understand the correlation between interpersonal skills, low self-esteem and internalizing problems in left behind children of immigrants. Students of 8th, 9th and 10th class from various private and government schools make up the population of interest. Correlational research design was used to identify the relationship between these variables and the participants were taken from the schools of Lahore. The purposive sampling was used to obtain the data in which 92 were boys and 105 were girls (N= 197). To measure interpersonal skills, self-esteem and internalizing problems, scales were used such as Interpersonal Skills Scale (Zahra et al, 2020), Self Esteem for Children Scale (Saleem & Mahmood, 2011), and Child Behavior Checklist for Internalizing Problems (Achenbach, 2001 translated by Syed, 2001). Pearson Product Correlation, Regression, t-test and ANOVA analysis were applied in the study. The findings of this study indicated IPSS factors social engagement, sociability, SECS factor social self-esteem are negatively correlate with internalizing problems while the SECS factor low self-esteem is positively correlate with internalizing problems. The number of siblings and low self-esteem were emerged as significant positive predictors of internalizing problems. The results of this study have significant ramifications for school students, teachers, and mental health specialists. Intervention to help students improve their academic performance and self-esteem can be devised by recognizing the link between interpersonal, self-esteem and internalizing problems.

Ethical considerations were attended to exceedingly well with informed consent and data confidentiality. Data was collected through purposive sampling method. The implication will help mental health professionals to use pet therapy or animal-assisted intervention when treating young adults with separation anxiety and interpersonal difficulties caused by family issues. This study supposes that parental discord are significantly related to higher separation anxiety and interpersonal difficulties in young adults. Regression analysis has shown that the factor of parental discord is a strong predictor of emotional and relational challenges and thus affects life satisfaction and attachment patterns.
