InBrief: The Science of Resilience
The development of resilience—the ability to overcome serious hardship—is essential to children’s lifelong health and well-being. One way to understand the development of resilience is to picture a seesaw: protective experiences and adaptive skills on one side counterbalance significant adversity on the other. Watch this video to visualize the science of resilience and understand how protective factors within a child’s developmental environment can help them build essential skills to cope with adversity. *Learn more about resilience—and how to support children and caregivers who face adversity—in this guide from the Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University: https://developingchild.harvard.edu/resource-guides/guide-resilience/* For more short summaries of other topics in early childhood development, including executive function and childhood mental health, view our InBrief video series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCCB05A22FA9C24EC #Resilience #ChildDevelopment #Resiliency
