Exploring children’s resilience growing up in low socioeconomic, single-parent households: A systematic review
Abstract
Adverse childhood experiences (ACE) have been shown to affect children in many
areas of life, including that of their overall resilience. Due to the distinctive socio-political
history and diverse cultures in the South African (SA) context, families experience unique
circumstances that affect the family relational structure as well as the socioeconomic and
relational aspects of families. This study employed a systematic review (SR) research design
to explore the resilience of young children (experiencing ACE’s) within single-parent
households in low socio-economic contexts.
