Meeting Life Challenges
How resilience and health are related to each others?
• Resilience has been described as the capacity to 'bounce back' in stressful situations.
• It is manifested in the form of self-worth, self-confidence, independence and self-reliance.
• Resilient children can face adversity and lead psychologically healthy and meaningful life.
Now-a-days resilience is being defined in the perspective of three resources.
(a) I have [social strength e.g., trust in people around]
(b) I am [inner strength i.e., high self-esteem]
(c) I can [inter-personal and problem-solving skills]
To develop resilience, children and adolescents need to have more than one of these strengths.
