Sarkar, 2013). Resilience is described as the overcoming of adversity, whilst subtly changing, or dramatically transforming aspects of that adversity (Hart & Heaver, 2013). McGrath & Noble (2010) expands on this by describing that resilience is also coping with hardship, then being able to return to a state of well-being. Masten (2001) explains that resilience is the human capacity to be strengthened and transformed by life’s adversities and challenges, whilst exploring how resilience is a complex
consequences of neglect in children on their cognitive development, the problem can be slowly addressed and resolved to a certain extent. Not only does it affect cognitive, language and emotional development in children, it can also result in long term consequences such as poor academic performance and attachment problems.

Resilience is required to thrive as an adolescence. Teenage years are marked with confusion, chaos and heartbreaking changes. Some adults look back and cherish their memories of youth. Others are driven to escape them or prevent others from experiencing them. Youth placed in the foster care system are forced to develop in an unnatural environment. Tupac Shakur once said, “the seed must grow regardless of the fact that it is planted in stone”. Like seeds in stone or roses from concrete, these youth

Evident that there are in fact multiple childhoods, a unifying theme of childhood studies is that childhood is a social construction and aims to explore the major implications on future outcomes and adulthood. Recognizing childhood as a social construction guides exploration through themes to a better understanding of multiple childhoods, particularly differences influencing individual perception and experience of childhood.

In contrast “Resilience Theory” suggests that conflict between negative aspects of aging and negative stereotypes can be a pathway to a more positive self perception (Kotter-Grühn & Hess, 2012). The idea of the theory being when individuals feel threatened by societal views they will compare themselves to those that are worse off than they are, and this will in turn lead to a more positive self perception. Resilience theory is supported by a study that found improvement
Developmental psychology is the scientific study of change that occurs in human growth throughout the lifespan.

In this assignment child development at different stages, relevant theories, clinical observations witnessed by the author and how parental mental health can effects child-rearing will be discussed.

Since 2000, various PP interventions at many schools have been adopted (Huppert & Cooper, 2014). Schools play an increasingly important role in assisting children to develop cognitive, social and emotional skills (Waters, 2011), and since most of children’s waking hours of the day are spent in school, it is a natural setting for wellbeing to be educated, recognised and encouraged (Proctor, 2014). The children are facing increasing levels of depression and distress worldwide (Shoshani & Steinmetz
