Tenacity in Children examines how multiple generations of parents
and caregivers raised children to become successful adults. Until
relatively recent times in human history, there were no schools or
organized institutions, nor were there parenting books. Rather,
caregivers depended on the seven important instincts that evolved
across tens of thousands of years in the human species. This volume
highlights the ways in which these instincts are more important
than ever in preparing children for tomorrow's successes. Key areas
of coverage include individual chapters devoted to examining each
of the seven instincts - intuitive optimism, intrinsic motivation,
compassionate empathy, simultaneous intelligence, genuine altruism,
virtuous responsibility, and measured fairness - as well as
practical strategies to guide children in acquiring and fine-tuning
these essential human instincts. Tenacity in Children provides a
solid foundation to prepare children for a resilient and happy
future. It offers well-defined guideposts for adults committed to
providing every child with the opportunity to access, strengthen,
and employ these instincts as they negotiate childhood and passage
into adult life. This book also serves as a rich resource for
researchers, practitioners, and graduate students in mental health
and public health disciplines as well as many interrelated fields
as we all strive to promote the well-being of children. The
collaboration of these two esteemed psychologists has been
impacting on our field for decades. This new book continues that
tradition. - Richard D. Lavoie, M.A., M.Ed. Author of It's So Much

Today's children face a multitude of pressures, from the everyday
challenges of life to the increasing threats of poverty,
exploitation, and trauma. Central to growing up successfully is
learning to deal with stress, endure hardships, and thrive despite
adversity. Resilience - the ability to cope with and overcome
life's difficulties - is a quality that can potentially be nurtured
in all young people. The second edition of the Handbook of
Resilience in Children updates and expands on its original focus of
resilience in children who overcome adversity to include its
development in those not considered at risk, leading to better
outcomes for all children across the lifespan. Expert contributors
examine resilience in relation to environmental stressors, as a
phenomenon in child and adolescent disorders, and as a means toward
positive adaptation into adulthood. New and revised chapters
explore strategies for developing resilience in the family, the
therapist's office, and the school as well as its nurturance in
caregivers and teachers. Topics addressed include: Resilience in
maltreated children and adults. Resilience and self-control
impairment. Relational resilience in young and adolescent girls.
Asset-building as an essential component of treatment. Assessment
of social and emotional competencies related to resilience.
Building resilience through school bullying prevention programs.
Large-scale longitudinal studies on resilience. The second edition
of the Handbook of Resilience in Children is a must-have reference
for researchers, clinicians, allied practitioners and
professionals, and graduate students in school and clinical
psychology, education, pediatrics, psychiatry, social work, school
counseling, and public health.
The third edition of this handbook addresses not only the concept
of resilience in children who overcome adversity, but it also
explores the development of children not considered at risk
addressing recent challenges as a consequence of the COVID-19
pandemic. The new edition reviews the scientific literature that
supports findings that stress-hardiness and resilience in all
children leads to happier and healthier lives as well as improved
functionality across the lifespan. In this edition, expert
contributors examine resilience in relation to environmental
stressors as phenomena in child and adolescent disorders and as a
means toward positive adaptation into adulthood. The significantly
expanded third edition includes new and significantly revised
chapters that explore strategies for developing resilience in
families, clinical practice, and educational settings as well as
its nurturance in caregivers and teachers. Key areas of coverage
include: Exploration of the four waves of resilience research.
Resilience in gene-environment transactions. Resilience in boys and
girls. Resilience in family processes. Asset building as an
essential component of intervention. Assessment of social and
emotional competencies related to resilience. Building resilience
through school bullying prevention. Resilience in positive youth
development. Enhancing resilience through effective thinking. The
Handbook of Resilience in Children, Third Edition, is an essential
reference for researchers, clinicians and allied practitioners, and
graduate students across such interrelated disciplines as child and
school psychology, social work, public health as well as
developmental psychology, special and general education, child and
adolescent psychiatry, family studies, and pediatrics.
