When I was still in college, I was exposed to the Baumrind theory of parenting styles.54 According to the theory, parents can be categorized based on how much they require their child to adhere to rules and structure, and how responsive they are to their child’s needs. A child can develop problems if they are raised without structure or neglected. With regard to resilience, I like to think of successful parenting in terms of problem-solving.
