Reply to "What are some of the most effective Resiliency skills observed?"

I agree that resilience comes from support - best  if caregivers are able to support their children.  However, when that support is not available, maybe we can ask children to learn how to get support from others - how to ask for help and know that people care and want to help.  How to identify who to ask.  Also, I have lately been thinking that we shouldn't discount the support that children sometimes get from a good book, an inspiring movie.  How to help kids look for role models that support their own moral development.  Just recently I read about someone who came from a very dysfunctional home but when he went to eat at a friend's house, he realized that there was another way to be a family and just that example helped him.  Maybe we could do a better job of asking kids about what examples they use that they would want to use in the future. 

Another great resource for kids is the Toolbox Project https://dovetaillearning.org/

This program has been proven to increase resiliency skills.  I have seen it implemented in local schools and it is amazing!
