The family is the main factor in the emotional and mental formation of the child. A child's emotional mental problem is a mental change that pathologically occurs in the child. This study aims to identify the relationship between family functioning and emotional mental problems in children. This study used a cross-sectional analytical method using The McMaster Familly Assessment Device questionnaire and the Strengths and Difficulties questionnaire. The results of this study showed that there was a relationship between family functioning and children's emotional mental problems on difficulty scores with p = 0.000 < 0.05; r = - 0.327, and there is no relationship between family functioning and the child's emotional mental problems on the strength score, p = 0.074 > 0.05
