N or doubt that the living conditions of children have improved markedly in the Western world, both in regard to food, hygiene and physical conditions of aging, such as affective treatment children receive, but all have disappeared in situations of neglect or abuse.
These changes in the contexts in which children can grow up to produce some paradoxical situations. Thus, excessive hygiene, and characterizes a large number of developed Western societies, has influenced the increased risk of allergies and autoimmune diseases that have these children compared to those living in less developed countries, where hygiene is lower. At least this is the main conclusion of a study conducted at Duke University and funded by the National Institutes of Health USA and the Foundation Fannie E. Rippel.
psychological level also tend to protect more than avoiding all kinds of frustrations and conflicts, and we should ask whether this excess of zeal overprotective can not also involve some effects undesirable.
Some data from studies that have taken place recently may be pointing in that direction. Thus, in a longitudinal study in which we have followed 100 adolescents from 13 to 23 years we have found that those boys and girls who reported more disputes and conflicts with their mothers and fathers were 13 years old who a decade later showed better psychological adjustment. This information can be easily explained, is that parent-child conflict in early adolescence act as a catalyst that precipitated the change must experience the relationship between parents and children to adapt to new needs arising with the onset of puberty. That is, conflicts are necessary at this stage provided the parent to be flexible and have plenty of waist to fit, since in such cases tend to resolve conflicts appropriately and will disappear to make way for a more mature and harmonious.
may seem more surprising data from another longitudinal study, led by Professor Arranz University of the Basque Country, on a sample of 551 children studied at 5 and 8 years, and we found that those children who at first were exposed to more marital conflict showed greater cognitive development three years later. No doubt a very shocking fact is not easy to interpret. This finding could be understood taking into account the behavioral development of resilience that would have been able to develop the children in the sample before exposure to the conflict in T1. Children in the sample of this study exposure to conflict in T1 could act as a resilient behavior favoring the backdrop of a proper family. Thus, exposure to different situations of conflict may have created an internal conflict that serves to activate the cognitive development by seeking an understanding of the situation. Specifically, the dispute could hasten the overcoming of selfishness cognitive characteristic of children of 5 years. Although
should further deepen the study of the psychological consequences of conflict for the development of children and adolescents, it seems hardly advisable to remove our children from all kinds of frustrations and conflicts. Many of these situations can be used to make them more resistant.
