I really enjoyed reading your paper. I thought you raised some interesting questions concerning the resiliency of children. I see children daily in my line of work that have been through more in their few years of life than most people go through in a lifetime and yet they are seemingly happy and healthy. I too wonder how long this resiliency lasts. I wonder if there are any studies on this???
I was also interested in the chapter about love and relationships. I enjoyed reading about your personal experience and hearing your reflection on your own relationships after reading this chapter. I have never been married and I do not have children yet but I found the graph in the book about the happiness of a marriage after bearing children…more than a little defeating. However, the suggestions that he gives, like you said, about how to keep your relationship strong made sense.
Your paper was interesting and I appreciated your honesty and disclosure when relating these concepts to your personal life.
