Question

Violet tries out for the school volleyball team and does not make the team. She is very disappointed and upset. When she talks to her mother about her feelings, her mother says, "Stop fretting about it. It’s not really that big of a deal. In 10 years, you won’t even remember this!" What kind of parenting strategy is Violet’s mother using?

Answer 1

Answer:dismissive parenting strategy

Explanation:

Dismissing parents try by all means to not pay attention to emotional reactions of their children. They dismiss those emotions by saying words like "get over it , it's not that big of a deal" just like Violet's parents. This prohibit the chance they can have to emotional connect with their children. For them to deal with those emotions they will tell the child to just get over them , their belief is that emotional displays are a sign of being weak. One should contain these emotions if they need to be strong or they take these emotions as manipulation.

This can have a long term negative impact in children when they become adults , they may have emotional baggage or treat others the same way or even harshly.
