Resilience is a much-talked-about topic these days. The view that
resilience is an important aspect of mental well-being has been
gaining attention among health professionals and researchers.
Tatyana Barankin and Nazilla Khanlou draw from the latest research
and theoretical developments on resilience in children and youth
and present it in a way that is relevant for a diverse audience,
including parents, educators, health care providers, daycare
workers, coaches, social service providers, policy makers and
others. Among the unique contributions of this book is that the
authors consider the development of resilience at three levels.
Growing Up Resilient explores the individual, family and
environmental risk and protective factors that affect young
people's resilience: individual factors: temperament, learning
strengths, feelings and emotions, self-concept, ways of thinking,
adaptive skills, social skills and physical health family factors:
attachment, communication, family structure, parent relations,
parenting style, sibling relations, parents' health and support
outside the family environmental factors: inclusion (gender,
culture), social conditions (socio-economic situation, media
influences), access (education, health) and involvement. Tips on
how to build resilience in children and youth follow each section.
The ability for children and youth to bounce back from today's
stresses is one of the best life skills they can develop. Growing
Up Resilient is a must-read for adults who want to increase
resilience in the children and youth in their lives.
