Building resilience in children: What makes children strong
Children face many challenges, both big and small, in their everyday lives: arguments, disappointments, poor marks, changes within the family, or the feeling of not belonging. Resilience helps them cope with such pressures and find their footing again after difficult times. This does not mean that children always have to be strong or that they are not allowed to show fear, anger or sadness. Rather, it’s about them learning, step by step: I’m not alone, I’m allowed to ask for help, and I can make a difference myself. In this article, you’ll find out what resilience means for children, how it develops, and how parents can help their children build resilience in their everyday lives.
