Summary/Abstract: This paper focuses on pinpointing the existence of a relationship between the variables family resilience, cognitive flexibility and parents’ transformative learning experiences. Findings (after applying the questionnaire to 100 parents) show a significant correlation between perceived transformative learning and family resilience, but cognitive flexibility does not associate with family resilience (though it does correlate with resilience in general) or with parents’ transformative learning in their relationship with the child. Giving a meaning to the problematic experience is a common point between the variables that correlate positively.
