Common Causes of Family Conflict & How to Deal with Them.
Video 12. Emotional Resilience and “broken wing” syndrome – Parents & Family.
- Emotional Resilience = coping with stress and minimising anxiety. Epidemic.
- Broken Wing Syndrome = parent(s) protecting weaker children.
- Contributed to by genetics, home, school & social evironments, birth order, parenting skills, domineering parent(s) and/or aggressive siblings.
- Parental protectionist style spills from family into business, rifts between siblings (fairness) & between parents (merit & worth).
- Solution (2): focus on (a) sibling interests and (b) parents’ relationship with particular reference to the broken wing motivator.
Siblings: negotiate to self-interest.
Parents: get their thinking straight between family & business & support for appropriate help for weak child.
Cease favouritism \ destructive interplays that affect the business.
