Abstract

Introduction: Resilience is a dynamic concept that has been conceptualized with different approaches and research methods. The purpose of this research is to describe what parents understand by resilience in their prepuberalchildren. Material and Method: A sample of 267 parents were asked about their perception of the resilience of their children, between 9 and 12 years old. A quantitative methodology was used. Results: Parents consider resilience as a general capacity for adaptation, highlighting emotional regulation and cognitive processing as central components of individual resilience capacities, also highlighting the role of adults in their learning and activation. Conclusions: This study approaches the understanding of resilience capacities that make sense to parents or not in the development of parental promotion and psychoeducation programs, helping to improve their elaboration.
