I call mine a pack of wolves because if I show any weakness they are sure to take advantage. Also, having seen their mother ill turns into insecurities. I find with my little ones if they are unable to communicate their thoughts or feelings (hunger tired mad sad etc.) they will have each their own individual form of tantrum. If I can help them figure out what is frustrating them and to find a solution it helps them to control their reactions.
Just because a parent has a mental illness does not mean that their children will have the same. Hopefully with early intervention these children can learn better skills to help lessen their stress levels. I'm not saying that poor coping skills cause mental illnesses, but they definetely make it more difficult to handle. Proper skills will make any endeavour more enjoyable.
BEST WISHES
