1."How to Make Time With Family and Loved Ones Count"
- author-Elizabeth Grace Saunders
- Technology can get in the way of spending time with our loved ones. We can fix this by eating meals together, living together and winding down together.
- Eating meals together is important- this is important to take time to connect with out families.
- Winding down together- spending time on your phone can make it difficult to fall asleep. We should spend time with our families before bed to help get better sleep.
- Live life together-Connecting face to face can help strengthen bonds between families.

- Refugees face many day to day barriers in a new country. These barriers are different for older and younger generations.
- We need to understand an ecological framework- Ecological framework can transform a child and change their development. A new culture can be difficult to adapt to for a young child.
- Mental health can be affected by a new culture- depression PTSD and other mental disorders are directly related to stress within adaptation to a new culture.

- Children who are abused are more likely to have heart problems or even cancers-"One meta-analysis documented a 0.5-SD increase in risk across cardiovascular, respiratory, metabolic, autoimmune, and musculoskeletal conditions in adults abused as children compared to a control group (Wegman & Stetler, 2009)."
- Stressful parents can cause psychological issues-"In Figure 1, a typical stress-health model is depicted (horizontal row), in which stressors (external environmental demands) result in individual psychological responses that in turn have biolog- ical and health behavior effects, which over the long-term can have implications for physical health. "
- Positive relationships can help buffer children from certain issues later in life- "One explanation for why social support would be beneficial to health is the stress-buffering theory, which states that social support operates during times of stress to mitigate the effects that stress has on health-related outcomes (via the biological and behavioral pathways outlined above), and hence that one would expect to see effects of social support during high stress, but not low stress, times (Cohen & Wills, 1985)."

under 18 years and their partners—a longitudinal study of family
relationships using dyadic data analysis"
Saunders: "Making those deeply personal, face-to-face connections a priority in your family builds meaningful bonds. It also acts as a powerful prevention strategy so you can reduce the time and energy you need to spend on cures."
Gotze: "Parents with cancer are concerned about their children’s well-being and seem to be torn between their own and their children’s needs, and usual parental roles could change [5]. Cancer patients with children under 18 years (compared to those without) had a five times higher risk of developing a stress disorder and a higher risk for the development of anxiety disorders in the course of the disease [6]."
Chen:"stressors related to parent–child relationships elicit cognitive, emotional and behavioral responses in children."
Frounfelker: "Stress related to cultural adaptation has been associated with poor mental health outcomes of refugee and immigrant youth, including depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) [19–21]"
I think the underlying meaning of all of my articles relate to each other in some way. Not all of the points connect to each other though. All of the articles have an idea of stress or mental disorders which is what I focused my conversation on. The main ideas however were completely unique to each essay, as none of the essays were about the same thing. I think all the authors agree that family is extremely important and weak bonds can create mental problems while strong bonds can create healthy environments.
My first essay focused more on the positive side of a family relationship and even how to improve it. But it did talk about the negative effects of social media and how that relates to stress and health issues. The second article was all about family refugees. This focused on the stress the children are put under when bing introduced to a new culture. The third article was about health and family relationships. When children are in a bad family situation, their health declines. This is all due to stress and the stress their parents bring to their lives. It also talks about how positive family relationships can be beneficial for health. The final essay was about parents with cancer. It focuses on how parents having cancer can cause psychological problems with the children and spouse, but support from the family can help.

- A parent diagnosed with cancer can affect the entire family-"The National Cancer Institute assumes that 24 % of adult cancer patients are parents of children under legal age [1]. A number of findings suggest that a parental cancer diagnosis and treatment affect the whole family unit [2]. Cancer presents a major stressor and often creates multiple problems for families with significant mental and somatic implications for family members [2–4]."
- A cancer diagnosis can create social and work problems-"Several studies have reported a positive association between helpful social support from family and friends and cancer patients’ psychological distress and quality of life [25, 26]. Furthermore, the quality of the support network of the parents was a significant moderator of child functioning [4]."
