Parental Focus on a Child
父母聚焦於孩子 - 健康嗎？
On-line Discussion
Jan 20, 2021 (Wed) 7:00 -8:30 pm
家庭集中關注特定的孩子對其成長有一定的影響。父母聚焦於孩子這現象產生自父母與子女形成的情緒三角關係。這些關注可以是正面或負面，但最重要的是在過程中關注的強度。這種關注其實反映父母的不安全感和不成熟多於孩子的實際現實需要。被寵愛的孩子其實未必比一個不被寵愛的孩子處於更佳的位置。
In this video, Host Dr. Mariana Martinez interviews Ms. Laura Brooks, LCSW-C, and faculty member of the Bowen Center for the Study of the Family.
Families center their attention on given children with certain consequences for development. The child focus exists in the triangle with the parents and can be positive or negative, but it is the intensity of the process that is most significant. This focus is more about the insecurities and immaturities in the parents than the realities of the child’s situation and a favored child may not actually be in a better position than a not-favored child.
