Helping Children Navigate Difficult times

As children grow up they go through many difficult situations through out their lives.  One way parents, teachers, and other caring adults can support a child is to help them build their resilience.  Basically giving them guidance in how to process a difficult situation or hardship and adapt to it.  The benefit is giving the child a sense of control and connection when they face a traumatic experience and gives a more positive, I can overcome this attitude.

 Some ways to parents, teachers and caring adults can help build resilience on a daily basis may include:

• Give comfort, guidance and suggest strategies to get through a difficult situation

• Work on problem solving skills together

• Help a child understand the situation and possible reasons why a certain behavior is happening

• Help a child with self-reflection       

With support from parents, teachers and other caring adults to help navigate situations, process them, and give them strategies to deal with them, a child’s resilience grows and their skills to navigate difficult experiences develops.
