I found a video of an interview with a Physician who discusses the negative impact stress of parents can have on their children. This interview does not have a sole focus on stress of parents with children with disabilities, but discusses the general concept of stress and it's effect it can have on the parent/child relationship. What I found the most interesting about this video is that the Physician believes that stress and lead to disabilities. Can parental stress really lead to disabilities? This controversial statement has lead me to think about my inquiry in a different aspect. He states that the development of the brain depends on the psychological and social environment, that the disabilities begin to form through coping mechanisms of the child. He discusses how his theory relates to research he has encountered and compares it to science. With all different types of disabilities being diagnosed to children, he feels there is something going on within society. I found this interview to be very interesting and really thought provoking.

This interview was very interesting and gave a great insight on how stress can affect children and families. It is very interesting also that the doctor believes that stress can lead to disabilities. I personally, do not agree with this statement. Overall, it was very interesting and gave great insight to this topic.
