The level of disruptive change within parent–child relationships, the psychological experience of parents, and the length of stress or crisis may partially be determined by Factor B’s recovery factors referred to as parental resources, coping, and adaptation. Resources are the potential strengths of parents that may be drawn upon as the possible basis for progress toward renewal. In contrast, coping involves actually taking direct actions (e.g., acquiring resources, learning new skills, and asking for assistance), altering one’s interpretations (e.g., reframing circumstances), and managing one’s emotions (e.g., positively through social support or negatively through substance abuse). Finally, adaptation or resilience refers to the ability of parents and other family members to recover from stress and crisis and establish a new level of functioning (Henry et al., 2015; Hill, 1949).
