Resilience is the ability to do well despite challenges in life. It helps us adapt successfully and bounce back from adversity, failure, conflict and disappointment. When faced with challenges and difficulties, resilient children still experience anger, grief and pain. But they can function and recover.
Resilient children also tend to persist in the face of a difficult task, know when to ask for help and are more able to tolerate failure. They can be confident in their own lovability and value too, which helps with good self-esteem. .
