摘要

This heuristic inquiry explores my experience as the mother of fraternal twins who are both sexual minorities and the process I went through in coming to accept their sexual and gender identities. Primary emphasis was directed toward my experience of becoming a more empathic parent to my children as my understanding and acceptance of them increased. Also explored was the impact of this empathic perspective on my relationships with my children and family, with others, and, ultimately, with myself.; This inquiry was initially guided by two primary questions: (1) How was I able to accept my children and become an empathic parent, given that I didn't start out as one and research suggests that almost half the parents of sexual minority children reject them? (2) What is empathic parenting? Why is it important for healthy child development and what happens to children who don't get it?; The concept of disenfranchised grief, defined by Lenhardt (1997) as resulting from "experiences that are not or cannot be openly acknowledged by peers or society" (in Bracciale, Sanabria & Updyke, 2003, p. 4), was also explored, given disenfranchised griefs proposed role in the parental rejection of their sexual minority children.; Through this heuristic inquiry, another form of disenfranchised grief has been identified that appears to expand Lenhardt's (1997) existing definition. This form of disenfranchised grief is proposed to occur when young children must psychologically defend against the experience of overwhelming pain resulting from a lack of attunement with the mother or failure by the mother to appropriately recognize and regulate her child's distress. It is through the process of attunement that a mother regulates the physical and emotional needs of her child, needs that are expressed as distress. This form of disenfranchised grief is thought to obstruct or interfere with the natural flow of attunement between humans. In particular, this disenfranchised grief is thought to specifically interfere with the mother's innate instinct to seek out her child when she is distressed. Lastly, it is thought that disenfranchised grief may be transmitted from one generation to the next through the mother-child interaction.; The possibility that disenfranchised grief may be operating at a societal level is also proposed. However, additional research is needed to further explore this idea. Finally, the implications for parents, educators and leadership are discussed.

(2)什么是移情育儿?为什么这对健康的儿童发育很重要,而对于没有得到发展的儿童会发生什么呢? Lenhardt(1997)定义的被剥夺权利的悲伤的概念是由于“没有或不能被同龄人或社会公开承认的经历”(在Bracciale,Sanabria&Updyke,2003,p.4)中给出的,拟议中的被剥夺公民权的悲伤在父母拒绝性少数儿童方面发挥作用。通过这种启发式的研究,人们发现了另一种形式的被剥夺权利的悲伤,似乎扩大了Lenhardt(1997)的现有定义。当幼儿必须在心理上抵御由于缺乏与母亲的协调或母亲未能适当地认识和调节孩子的痛苦而导致的压倒性痛苦的经历时,就会发生这种形式的丧失权利的悲伤。一位母亲通过协调过程来调节孩子的生理和情感需求,这些需求表现为痛苦。人们认为这种形式的被剥夺权利的悲伤会阻碍或干扰人与人之间自然的调和。特别是,这种被剥夺权利的悲伤被认为特别地干扰了母亲在痛苦中寻找孩子的天生本能。最后,人们认为被剥夺权利的悲伤可能通过母子互动从一代传给下一代。还提出了被剥夺权利的悲伤可能在社会层面上起作用的可能性。但是,需要进一步的研究来进一步探索这个想法。最后,讨论了对父母,教育者和领导者的影响。
