Document Summary

Similarity between parents and children in emotional expressiveness and types of emotion typically displayed. Parents who help kids with emotions during upset moments are being taught how to manage being upset on their own. Parents are dismissive of child"s emotions importance of peers and temperament Parents are role models and in uencers for their children emotions to certain situations. We are looking at coping behaviours in families and these coping skills (regulating your emotions and what you"re doing with those emotions) are what in uences their children. When people talk about their emotions, they are regulating their emotions. Video = talking about mental illness and mental health. Mental health is a public problem, not an individual problem, intervention with mental health must start with prevention. Children are little adults and parents must start treating them with them. Babies do feel stressed and it is the parents responsibility to maintain and prevent this stress (stressor activation).
