Overcoming Adversity: How Supportive Relationships Help Children Develop Resilience

It is difficult for others to do this, but why do some people develop the ability to overcome major adversities of life? What can we learn from successful people and overcome difficulties? The working papers of the Harvard National Developmental Children's Science Committee tend to develop the skills and abilities required for children with at least one stable, faithful and positive relationship with adults to overcome bad life experiences We provide evidence that there is.

Cooperative relationships with caring adults will help you effectively deal with stress, monitor and regulate behavior, and learn to adapt to changes to protect children from developmental disorders. The combined effects of adaptive capacity development, cooperative relationships and positive life experience contribute to the child's ability to adapt to difficult situations. These findings support decades of research in the field of youth development and in one of the most challenging situations the one-on-one relationship supported by the Big Brother Big Sisters Coaching Program is for children's prosperity It is useful.

The findings identified four key factors that enhance the chances that children facing adversity will achieve positive results. When these effects work effectively, children are more likely to get positive or ideal life outcomes. If these factors are missing or inconsistent, it rarely produces positive results. These general factors are as follows.

In his or her life there is at least one relationship between a stable, considerate, supportive, child and important adult.

We cultivate strong executive skills and self adjustment skills (ability to respond effectively to management behavior and feelings, stress)

Many factors such as genetic factors and other biological factors, internal tendencies, external experiences, etc. contribute to human adaptability. But the ability to adapt to change, deal with stress and maintain happiness is not static - indeed, with the right combination of active interventions, flexibility may improve over time. This suggests that beneficial effects of long-term one-to-one counseling relationships between older brothers and older sisters may be more important for children facing greater challenges in everyday life .

Human relations also helps strengthen resilience in childhood and adulthood. One of the most common factors for children and adolescents who can overcome serious difficulties is at least a stable, loyal relationship with supporting parents, caregivers and other adults. These relationships provide personalized reactions and protections such as the ability to mitigate children's developmental disorders and to plan, monitor, adjust, and coordinate actions and to adaptively address individuals' adversity and prosperity I will. This combination of supportive relationship, adaptive capacity development and positive experience interacts with genetic predisposition and forms the basis of resilience.

Many of the current studies are planning to help children adapt ability - the factors that help them regain their ability and help them overcome adversity. Children are inherently inflexible, but many factors, such as temporary careful care, healthy attachment, and the use of small pressure to promote flexibility to practice elasticity, It will contribute to. The current intervention program aims to improve the mental health recovery of depressed parents by providing educational programs, community resources, and personal capacity development for parents (Place et al., 2002). Among the victims of childhood cancer, the concept of uncertainty has traditionally been published based on its adverse effects (Parry, 2003). However, Parry (2003) found that uncertainty may also promote the development of reliability and resilience, and other positive effects.
