Familial Roles In Emotional Regulation And Adulthood

It is absolutely baffling that the people individuals are surrounded by will determine the type of person they become. Growing up with a caring family can give a person a sense of kindness that will follow them throughout their lifetime. That person, in turn, may raise their own children with the same feelings of affection. In contrast, bad relationships between parents and children will stunt the child’s maturity. These children grow up to project their feelings of low self-worth onto other people.

Our parents raise us hoping for us to develop certain character traits, but there comes to a point when we start to become our own person based on the experiences we go through, any situation, good or bad, can influence our personality mentally and emotionally. Emotion is what makes us human, it's how we cope and how we manage our crazy lives’. When our feelings get damaged or even nourished, it will change how we react

The U.S Constitution was created to help and protect people. Although there were positive aspects of the constitution it greatly limited democracy for all the people. If you were a slave, women or Native American at this time, the U.S Constitution was not created to help you, it had protected slaves, women, and Natives Americans from being having rights that were protected by the Constitution .

The connections made between a parent and a child is unlike any other. When a child is born, or when a parent is first introduced to the child, there is a permanent connection formed between the two that structures itself as the foundation for a relationship. There exists a bond that can never be compromised. In some cases that bond can lead to happiness and warmth, while in others it can lead to bitterness and despair. Regardless of the strength of the relationship a child has with their parent, their bond is deeply rooted into the core of the parent and child’s personality, for good or for worse.

Before starting the discussion of emotion-focused therapy, it is very important to have an understanding of what emotion is. Historically, emotions were seen as nonspecific and disruptive; however more recent analyses have emphasized the functions that emotions serve (Hebb, 1949). Although emotions address different adaptive problems, they generally facilitate decision making, prepare the individual for rapid motor responses and provide information regarding the ongoing match between organism and environment (Schwarz & Clore, 1983). In addition to this, emotion also serves as a social function for they inform us about others’ behavioral intentions, give us clues as to whether something is good or bad and control our social behavior (Greenberg & Safran, 1987). From an emotion-focused perspective, according to Greenberg (2004), emotion disorder is seen as a result of more failures in the dyadic regulation of affect, avoidance of affect, traumatic

Nuclear family emotional system is a concept describing four primary relationship patterns of emotional functioning, which are matrimonial conflict, dysfunction in a spouse, impairment in children, and emotional detachment (Haefner, 2014). Family reactions to such are imitations of previous generations, as well as predictors of how future generations will react. The family projective process is when children inherit the strengths and weaknesses of their parents, such as emotional issues (Haefner, 2014). Multigenerational transmission is the progression of family ideals and traditions to multiple generations, which are either supportive or detrimental (Haefner, 2014).

Children are very complex, unique and varied individuals whose genetics, connections and backgrounds all perform significant roles in their emotional development (Wilson, 2003). The genetic blueprint a child inherits from its parents may plot a course for development but the environment and the influences within can affect how the child is shaped, how they connect with and are perceived by others and how their emotions are or are not expressed. Wilson (2003) points out emotions as an experience that is linked to cognitive interpretation, context, subjective feeling, physical reaction and behavioural expression. Campos, Campos, and Barrett (1989) suggest emotions are processes of establishing, maintaining, or disrupting the relations between the person and the internal or external environment, when such relations are significant to the individual.

In most of the societies about a century ago, the family was the most valued system in almost all spheres of life and human living. Family is the only institution which provides the security and support without any rewards in return. The effectiveness of family functioning in conditioning the children's personality and social development has an outstanding importance (Roelfse and Middleton, 1985). The family interactions play an important role in the development of an individual. These interactions and interpersonal relationships are seen between parents, parent and child, siblings, and any other relative or person living in the household. The healthy functioning of these interaction patterns enhances mental health of the individual Children need a happy and stable family environment and a conductive social network for their overall growth and development. Yet, happy families are not happy all the time. Disagreements and conflicts are a necessary part of living closely together. Both love and hate are to be expected in the intensity of family life and peers interactions, but it is the way negative emotions are handled that makes a difference to family life and social interactions (Parke and Buriel, 1998). Parenting has long been recognized as making an important contribution to the development of competencies and problem behavior among children and adolescents. However, recently researchers have begun to develop attention to understanding variations in parenting in different

In the book, “Raising An Emotional Intelligent Child” author John Gottman guide’s parent’s toward raising an intelligent child by teaching them about the awareness of their emotions. Parents are known to be emotional coaches, parents who get involved with their child’s feelings. They accept negative emotions as a fact of life and use emotional moments as opportunities for teaching their kids important life lessons and building closer relationships with them. Emotional intelligence controls impulses, delays gratification, motivate themselves, reading others social cues, coping with life’s ups and downs. Parenting requires intellect, but most importantly empathy. In parent- child interactions, most parents fall into two categories: parents who give their children guidance about the world of emotion and those who do not. There are 3 types of parents who fail to teach emotional intelligence: the dismissing parent, disapproving, and Laissez-Faire. Dismissing parents tend to disregard and ignore children’s negative emotions. Disapproving parents are critical of their children’s displays of negative feelings and may punish them for emotional expression. Lastly, Laissez-Faire parents, accept their children’s emotions and empathize with them, but fail to offer guidance or set limits on their children’s behavior.

Firstly, the meaning of emotional regulation and Erik Erikson's theory of eight stages of development are depicted, with special emphasis on early childhood. This is done for the purpose of underlining the importance of regular emotional development as opposed to one impaired by abuse.

Moreover, although consensus has generally agreed on the structure of self-regulation (Ursache et al., 2012), recent research has highlighted an intricate relation between executive functioning and another other aspect of emotion, emotionality (Ferrier et al., 2014). Emotionality, the combination of the expression and experience of emotion, is observable everywhere in a preschool classroom. Recall that emotion regulation, cognitive regulation (i.e., executive functioning), and behavioral regulation are all considered essential aspects of self-regulation (Jahromi & Stifter, 2008; Ursache, et al., 2012). Moreover, remember that behavioral regulation has been defined as the “execution and manifestation of cognitive processes in overt behavior” (Morrison et al., 2010, p. 204). In the same light, just as behavioral regulation is the expression of corresponding cognitive processes (i.e., cognitive regulation/ executive functioning), we propose that emotionality be conceptualized as the corresponding expression of emotional processes (i.e., emotion regulation). It is worth mentioning that the emotionality we refer to is conceptually distinct from the term emotionality used in temperament research to describe an innate emotional disposition (e.g., Blair et al.,

My teen handled all of this stress very well due to her secure attachment, and support from my partner and me. She went through the process of applying to colleges and universities, and was able to get into several of them. She decided to go to one in state and set off on the net chapter of her life financially responsible, healthy and thoroughly happy with her life (My Virtual Teen). This positive transition through adolescence can be partly related to the authoritative parenting style I was tasked with portraying in this experiment. An Authoritative parent is highly responsive, or warm, and highly demanding (McMahan et. Al. 2015). This is the best parenting style for adolescence (Thompson, 2016) because these parents can adapt to the constantly changing world of needs that is adolescence. My teen’s behavior is reflective of my parenting style because as she began to test boundaries, I did not let up on either my warmth or my demands. She continued to do well in school, and socially, all while continuing to love her

The development of my child’s cognitive, physical and socio-emotional has grown well. Daniel has grown to be a happy adolescent with a sense of direction in what she wants to do as a career. The way I raised giving her independence has given her feelings of happiness. I have raise her to use freedom wisely and given her trust in making decisions on her own. For example Daniel was asked out on a date by a classmate she was really happy about the date. I allowed her to go on her date alone and let make decisions on her own. To establish more of her independence she spent the day with her boyfriend without telling me where they were going. She spent the day doing community service work. I believe she will become more independent since she will be leaving to college on her own. I also been

The death penalty has been a huge part of many political debates for decades. Most citizens of the Unite States believe there are two sides, those for and those against its continued use. Those for, tend to believe that it is necessary to keep these criminals out of society and that it deters crime, while those against tend to believe that the practice is medieval and unethical in society today. With a controversial topic like the death penalty, it is important to determine why this controversy exists and if there is a possible solution. The focus at hand is whether or not the United States Government should continue its use of the death penalty and how this answer could be implemented.

Because self-esteem is influenced by so many different things (e.g. society, media, friends, etc…) it is very important that parents and caretakers take the proper steps in helping a child develop a strong sense of who they are (Nuttall, 1991). By the time a child reaches three years of age they have experienced a very wide range of emotions (Cluff, N.D.) Parents, teachers and caregivers will lay the foundation upon which a child emotionally develops (Cluff, N.D.). Positive emotional development is important for children because this will not only determine their ability to develop healthy relationships with their peers but also how to successfully deal with their own emotions (Cluff, N.D.). Many theorists agree that there is a connection between a child’s emotional levels and development; they also
