Anxiety-Starts from Chidhood

Childhood Experience Influences Mood


Childhood Experience Influences Mood. Parents ignore warning signals from a uneasy child and insist on something not interesting to the child. Indeed there are still professional therapists telling parents that their own mood and the way that they interact with each other has no real influence on their children. To be frank, this is dangerous nonsense!

Not only their overall relationship, but also their prevailing mood and outlook can be a powerful life-long influence on the way their children view the world and can affect their life-chances. A new study published in the recent issue of the Journal of Personality finds a correlation between adult pessimism and childhood in a low socioeconomic status family.

By connecting socioeconomic status to pessimism, which in turn has in earlier studies shown to be related to physical and mental health, the current study provides critical information for policy makers and parents concerned with preventing the development of bad coping strategies of children.

Researchers compared optimism and pessimism levels of participants from different socioeconomic backgrounds and found that persons of high SES had a more optimistic outlook on life. This is hardly surprising. Further, it was discovered that the effect of childhood socioeconomic status on pessimism tended to remain in spite of socioeconomic fluidity. http://www.upliftprogram.com/h_depression.html#h95
