Hi
Resilience draws on aspects of a child’s characteristics including temperament and the environment in which they are raised and supported, including people and opportunities that help build resilience eg independence, autonomy and problem solving.
Building resilience can be supported by encouraging children to think positively and in perspective, this helps the child to cope with problems and setbacks.
To overcome adversity and build resilience, children need.....
Unconditional love and acceptance
Some autonomy over their lives
Trusting relationships with significant adults
Feelings of independence
Secure relationships and strong role modes to help foster friendships and commitment
A safe and stable environment
Self-confidence and faith in themselves and their world
Helping children feel secure and confident begins at birth, by providing safety, security, stability and nurture.
xXx
