Parental Resilience

When parents understand how their child responds to certain situations, they can anticipate issues that might be problematic for their child. They can prepare the child for the situation or in some cases they may avoid a potentially difficult situation altogether. Parents who know how to adapt their parenting approach to the particular temperament of their child can best provide guidance and ensure the successful development of their child's personality.

Resilience is often an indicator of future success as an adult and can help to protect children against emotional and behavioural problems etc

Adults can help all children become resilient children by just being supportive parents. Parents must develop a caring relationship with the child. Being empathetic by attempting to validate and appreciate the child’s point of view on things. Having effectively communication and being an active listener. Giving the child the opportunity to respond in ways that avoid power struggles by not interrupting the child with how they supposed to feel. Making the child feel appreciated and special. Also, being a positive role model and receiving help from the community. This can also help the child gain their inner strength skills with confidence, critical thinking, self-control, responsibility and the positive outlook on things and participation.

Parents usually have the best intentions – like protecting their children from life's hardships and preparing them for adulthood. However as with many other aspects of parenting, the results do not always match the intentions. Overprotective parents generally want to protect their children from harm, hurt, pain, failure, unhappiness, bad experiences, rejection, and disappointment (Lindsey 1). However, parents must realize that overprotective parenting has certain side effects. Parents believe that they are doing a favor for their children by keeping them safe without realizing that this parenting style can have severe effects on children such as robbing children of the essential life skills that they need in order to have a healthy

resilience. But resilience is not something we have or don’t have. We work on throughout our lives. And we need to start as early as possible. Parents are the most important people to help build their children’s resilience. Children learn a lot by watching their parents. When parents cope well with everyday stress, they are showing their children how to do the same.

Good parenting skills are essential to put children on the right track. Whether it’s being there when they’re going through a rough time in life or helping with picking out the right college, their impact is huge on their children’s life, for the moment at hand and for

Children in middle childhood can face situation that cause psychological stress on them. However, the child can build up resilience against such stress. A child’s temperament and master-oriented approaches towards situation can help because this allows the child to take a personal initiative to a problem rather than being a victim. The relationship between parent and child can play a factor. If there is a warm, loving relationship vs. a cold, neglecting relationship, the child is more likely to do better in a difficult situation. Another factor to building resilience is having the child have a non-family member adult as a support system. When there is another adult in the picture, the parents and child may feel less stress in a situation if

People influences a kid’s life they look up to the most. More than not, parents play that role, especially through a kids young and developmental years. In turn the adults themselves created their own problems with children. Parents did this by rising their kids by rebelling the style of parenting they experienced. In turn the parents have created a generation of monsters. Wanting to be their child’s friend or friend is a huge problem with parents of today. Parents will do whatever it takes to become friends with their kid instead of showing their kids tough love and giving them proper discipline. For example; parent’s way to overprotective, except every excuse their child must offer, little to no discipline, more involvement, don’t give personal attention their kids need, hugs that should have been spankings, and the large number of other parenting skills completely avoided to make sure their kids never disliked them. If a child never dislikes, hates, or gets mad at their parents sometimes then they are not raising them properly. Another sign of good parenting is teaching them life’s most valuable lessons. The amount of important lessons a child will learn from proper parenting is incredible. Listing all of them is unnecessary, but for example, etching a child how to respect people and raising them to be an all-around good person are a couple life lessons children would learn

Children are affected by everything around them. They are small sponges waiting to absorb all the information they can. What happens to children when they are faced with traumatic incidences? There are many possible outcomes, but the outcome that is always hoped for is resiliency. When a child cane become resilient to their past, they have a greater likelihood of developing loving relationships later in life.

People face adversity every day, and the main things behind that are having someone to help the child get through it. Parenting is a key factor to helping a child face adversity. By a parent being effective, “steers the child away from wasteful or dangerous abilities, supports of taking on new challenges, and providing guidance and constructive feedback” (Siqueria, 151). By the child being in

According to Osgood (2014), in order for youth to become resilient they need help building a support system to fall back on, must learn the problem solving skills necessary to live on their

Vulnerability and resilience among children continues to be a popular topic in research of developmental psychology. The two definitions are closely tied together as they are considered both sides to the spectrum. Schaffer (2006) defines vulnerability and resilience “as the susceptibility to develop malfunctioning following exposure to stressful life events, as opposed to the capacity to maintain competent functioning stress”. If stressful life events are the trigger here, why is it that some children are far more vulnerable, yet others are more resilient? The three studies discussed in this paper will attempt to explain why these differences occur and what can we do to enhance protective factors.

I like your point that family support cannot always be provided because of different reasons, and individuals should build some resilience by themselves. I have talked with a kid whose father is in jail, and she told me sometimes she feels sad when she sees other children with their fathers. Also, immediate family members such as mothers and fathers can be the abusers, so they can't even bring children a peaceful life.I think people shouldn't over-reliant on other people when they deal with crisis and difficulties. I came to the United States by myself. When I meet difficulties and stress here, the most reliable person is myself. I gained a lot of independence, life skills, and courage during these years. I've had friends whose grandmother

Parents strive to create an environment in which their children can thrive in. As children grow, it is important to focus on all aspects of development. There are five key areas of development: physical, intellectual, emotional, social, and moral. While it is easy to guess how to assist in the intellectual and social development of children, physical, emotional and moral development can be more confusing. As seen in The Power of Family: Types of Families and Family Development, there are a vast multitude of ways to aide in the growth of a child’s physical, emotional, and moral development.

The concepts of (1)pruning, (2)bonding, and (3)attachment, all play an important role in brain development. The concepts of (4)protective factors moderating the negative effects of certain (5)risk factors where demonstrated to be important in keeping the child on the right path of development. The effectiveness and importance of (6)learning through various visual and audio methods was another concept presented that was found to be important to child development. The concept of (7)balancing emotion and cognition was also demonstrated to be important in child development. The concept of (8)family-based, coping-focused, interventions promoting resiliency in ethnically diverse families was also demonstrated to be instrumental in child development.
