The results show that the sample is in the middle of the factors evaluated (61%) and that 69% did not face adequately the adversity.

Is proposed to design a training program for parents to incorporate into their speeches and actions positive representations on their children, so that achieving self-assertive and enable them to develop the ability to overcome adversity.
