What will be an ideal response?


When maternal abilities remain intact, child and family functioning is less impaired. This illustrates the reciprocal relationship between children's adjustment and parental stress and distress—healthy parental adjustment is related to healthy child adjustment, and vice versa. (Most research has considered only the role of mothers on child adjustment, but the specific influence of fathers on children's coping and adaptation to chronic illness is being recognized [Ware & Raval, 2007].) Thus, parental adjustment is one of the important correlates of children's adjustment to chronic illness.
