Twenty-one males (21) and thirty-one (31) females with 12-16 years of age participated in this study. Two scales were used to rate the attachment to parents and psychological well-being of the respondents and an interview guide to know the life aspirations of the children. It was found out that the children of coastal communities generally have a positive psychological well-being and a high level of attachment to parents. The participants expressed their top three goals in life - finishing studies, life prosperity and service to God. They wanted to find high paying professional jobs and help in the income of their family. They also wished to live prosperously in a clean and peaceful community.x, 84 p.ParentsPsychological well-beingFamilyAttachment to parentsCoastal communitiesLG 993.5 2005 P7 A73Thesispsychological factorsparental behaviourchildrenSDG 3 - Good health and well-being
