Abstract

During the Covid-19 pandemic, studies on Family Resilience are significant because every family has its own challenges in dealing with the pandemic and is required to be able to adapt, overcome, and rise from the various difficulties and challenges. Especially in families with early- age children, it is needed to prevent children from growing up in traumatic situations that can cause hardships in their developmental process. The purpose of this literature- based study is to investigate the literatures on Family Resilience in families with early- age children. The data collection and analysis were carried out qualitatively by reading, reviewing, and quoting relevant ideas from related journals. The results of the study showed that giving meaning to the difficulties that occur, positive thinking, and spiritualization are the three essential areas in building family resilience and can be involved in the family^s response to the Covid-19 pandemic by considering the development of children.
