Why is it important?
This paper describes a large scale community-based study exploring patterns of associations between children’s self-reported coping styles and symptoms of anxiety in order to determine whether particular dimensions are associated with better adjustment. We provide evidence that aspects and patterns of coping are differentially associated with children’s self-reported anxiety. The paper contributes to the understanding of the relationship between coping and wellbeing in childhood. In addition, the findings contribute to knowledge of ways in which intervention could be tailored to maximise impact on children’s wellbeing, resulting in significant improvement in the lives of children and their families.
Perspectives
I hope that this article will provide a starting point in developing a toolkit to help children to build their coping repertoire, and hopefully make a difference to children's day-to-day wellbeing
