Most
parents want their children to have character traits that will enable them to
endure the stressors of growing up in an ever-changing culture. Strong
character traits give children determination to withstand the pressures of life.
Stress is derived from various sources and, when coupled with anxiety and
tension, can be a detriment to building resilience.
Child development experts expound on
the benefits of tender, loving care given to children during the developmental years.
Researchers believe that long-term, chronic stress impairs physical and mental
health. Stressed-out people may have trouble establishing close, nurturing
relationships. Doing well in school or at work is jeopardized where too much
stress exists.
Responsive and encouraging caregivers help
build the resilience children need to cope with stress later in life. Even in a
troubled environment parents can provide reassurance and encouragement to help
children feel secure. God does this for you by helping you realize that Christ
Jesus is present and trustworthy to guide you through difficult, troubled
times.
