Building Resilience in Children
Such an asset may equip children to face the everyday struggles of life. This would ultimately result in them being able to overcome more difficulties they will face in life, having learned coping skills, emotional regulation, and problem solving. Such resilience-building programs should, therefore, be at the forefront of schools and community centers so that children can develop competencies that are useful for them.
Moreover, a positive adult is a powerful influence on child development. Programs that link the child with a caring adult can give them the comfort and stability they need to feel a part of something good. These relationships can help overcome or resist bad things that have been done to them and give them hope and possibilities for their futures.
