Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Resilience is the ability to recognize and use internal or external resources in dealing with adversity.Helping the child see his or her internal resources is a positive step in improving resiliency.Telling the child that others are worse off than he or she is or that he or she should "toughen up" is dismissive and not helpful.Teaching appropriate communication is important,but children do not need therapeutic communication skills.
