Helping Kids Bounce Back: Resilience Tools and Activities
“Building resilience in children involves encouraging parents to take activities home and share them with their family. Resilience develops over time as people are exposed to and successfully navigate stressors. We want them to go through those Ericksonian stages of industry and whatever the other ones are.”
