Researchers at Zero to Three have developed a guide for early childhood professionals to support parents and caregivers in fostering their child’s resilience to adversity. From ZerotoThree.org:
“In this brief, the authors explain how resilience can be recognized and fostered at four levels: the individual, the family, the school and caregiving systems, and the larger community. They also suggest ways that parents can build their child’s resilience on a daily basis by teaching self-care, emphasizing the positive, building a strong parent-child bond, reading together, encouraging social skills, maintaining a daily routine, nurturing self-esteem, and practicing reflection.”
