Chapter II
This chapter presents the theoretical framework of the study. This includes
all the relevant literature and studies that support the current research, which
also serves as its backbone that provides information for more profound
Theoretical Framework
The theoretical framework of this study discusses the theories that will
encountered by children who were separated from parents. Bowlby observed that

Resilience
Bowlby revolutionized the thought about the bond between the child and
the mother and its disruption through separation, deprivation and bereavement.
In 1936, Bowlby took a half-time job at the London Child Guidance Clinic, where
he worked for three years. It was these and related experiences that led Bowlby
to highlight the disruption of the relationship between mothers and children as the
Theory of social learning. The SCT was developed in 1986 and indicates that
individual, the environment and behavior. The unique feature of SCT is the focus
on social effect and the emphasis on social development both external and
internal social reinforcement. SCT recognizes the unique way people acquire and
sustain actions and takes into account, while also considering the social
individual, which factor into whether behavioral action will occur. Such prior

self-guides, or standards, against which they compare their current self. These
comparisons yield information that individuals are either near their self-guides or

Resilience
The use of the term resilience has a long history of various meanings,
and resistance. (Olsson, Jerneck, Thoren, Persson, & O’Byrne, 2015). Resilience

some people to be knocked down by life and come back at least as strong as
before. It is the capacity to respond soundly and productively when faced with

Impulse control
Individuals with good resilience will be able to control their own desires,
drives, preferences, and pressures from within. Children with divorce victims and
deaths of parents who have excellent impulse controllers can see the things they
experienced by thinking first before acting (Reivich, K., & Shatté, A., 2002).
Optimist
Child victims of separation and death of parents believe that they still have
bright hopes in the future. They continue to believe that they can achieve the
ideal in life after the traumatic event experienced (Reivich, K., & Shatté, A.,
2002).
This ability is related to the ability to think broadly about the problems it

Broken Home
FATHER AND MOTHER, I LOVE 17
A broken home can disrupt and confuse a child’s world. A broken family is
say broken family, it is not a distinct and strange thing, rather common and
experiencing problems in and around us. Family life is in a crisis when some
problems aroused and which causes separation of the members in the families,
which is called broken family. To be broken in the family, there must be some
misacceptance, and many more. Then the occurring crises lead to the divorce of
parents, disposal of sons or daughters and leaving home by any members of that
Parent’s Separation
In any time, anywhere and anyhow, divorce is not healthy for the family
life. Yet still, it happens. Divorce is claimed to be the main reason behind a
broken family. Philippine law does not allow divorces. However, it does allow for
legal separation, annulment and marriage "voids" under the Family Code of the
legitimate marriage that now has a valid ground to undo it, while avoided
The frequent disputes between a husband and a wife are the financial

sometimes both of them leave home. Then the absence of either or both the

parents will affect the family administration, then family becomes broken (Saikia,
2017).
Death of Parents
sometimes leads to a broken family. Like other reasons, all death in the family
does not necessarily bring any broken, but by the death of mother or father,
children become mother/fatherless. When children realize that the parent will
never return, they get emotionally disturbed. Moreover, if the left partner lives a
drastic life in search of happiness after losing a partner, the results in the family
could not be hale and hearty for the family life. Then it starts to be broken.
In early life, the loss of a mother is more damaging than the loss of the
father. The mother plays a critical role in nurturing the child during the formative
years of life. But as the children grow old, the loss of the father is often more
severe than the loss of the mother, especially for boys. Sometimes a mother may
lack the time and energy to give children the care they need as she has a double
burden of homemaking and bread-earning. For the worst case, if children lost

differ from each other. However, the most common reasons are drugs, abusing,

be problems among the members of the family. They will be free to do whatever

years are an apt time to evaluate the scope, and attenuate the effects, of IPV
exposure as children develop templates for future relationships and form much of
their worldview during these early years. Given that such foundational aspects of
a child's outlook are developed during this period, it seems like a critical time to
functioning can be enhanced, then some of the negative effects connected with
witnessing IPV may be reduced. Thus, to best minimize problems and promote
