Teaching Kids About Family History Reportedly Helps Increase Resilience
I
wish I had read this article when my children were young and I was just
beginning to research my family tree! According to an article in the
(Utah) Daily Herald:
“Resilience, or the ability to overcome
challenges in life, is a trait many parents hope their children will
develop. Resilient children are more likely to have good emotional and
mental health.
“Research has shown that children who know
more about their families and family history are more resilient and
tend to do better when facing challenges in life. This may be because
seeing patterns of overcoming failures and surviving hard times can help
children recognize that people can recover and triumph, despite
hardships. One of the best things families can do is develop a strong
family narrative.”
