ST JOSEPH: AN EFFECTIVE MODEL FOR PARENTING AND FAMILY CRISIS MANAGEMENT
Keywords:
Crisis Management, Family, Partnership and Parenting, St JosephAbstract
St Joseph is a silent epitome of cognitive and affective elements of hope and faith. Though most of the history hasn’t recorded who he was or what he did in detail, his actions towards Mother Mary and Jesus are clear enough to conclude that he was good at being a partner and a parent. Reflecting on the psychological aspect of his actions using theories from C.R. Snyder’s Hope theory and Brené Brown’s books on parenting, the article brings forth the art of cultivating essential characteristics in the family through personal work from the life and example of St Joseph. Another vital aspect reflected from the life of St Joseph is the skill of crisis management. Effective partnership and parenting are crucial topics in the present day scenario as the number of divorce and separation cases are on the rise. By joining the Christian perspective of a family headed by St Joseph and the psychological perspective of the effective parenting models, the article reflects ways to develop goal orientation, demonstration, and practice in everyday family life.
