What is resilience in children?
Children and teenagers deal with a range of stressors at school, at home, and with themselves. Resilience is crucial to how kids and young people respond to challenges and changes in their lives. A resilient child is optimistic, flexible, physically healthy, emotionally aware, and learns from experience.
