Balance between internal and external locus of control within children

Developing a balance between internal and external locus of control in children who have had traumatic experiences can be a beneficial way to improve self-worth instead of placing sole emphasis on internal locus of control alone. "Beneffectance," a balanced pattern that outlines this practice is defined as the tendency to accept internal responsibility for one's success and mostly view failures and adverse experiences as the result of external factors and not as "one's own fault."
