The resilience model indicates that negative forces, expressed in terms of damage or risks, find a proper protective shield that will prevent these forces from acting linearly but rather attenuate the adverse effects and, in other circumstances, transform them into a factor to overcome the negative situation (Muñiz, Santos, Kotliarenco, Suárez-Ojeda, Infante and Grotberg, 1998; Bartone, 2000; Vera, Carbelo and Vecina, 2006).
What does that mean for your child? Resilience is the ability to recover from illness, change, or misfortune. Resilient people face difficult situations in any adversity; they are willing to overcome them and be positively transformed.
It is crucial to identify fears in children, especially when they are young. We can know it when children change their behavior, for example, when they wet the bed.
Children see in this way an escape to cope with difficult situations that are happening in their environment. However, parents can help their children control tense or problematic situations that arise in daily life through play and the support of the family.
Resilient children learn skills that are fundamental for their formation and personality development, such as higher IQ, problem-solving, better-coping styles, motivation to achieve goals, autonomy, self-esteem, internal control, empathy, proper management of interpersonal relationships, willingness, and ability to plan, and a positive sense of humor.
Remember that family is the fundamental point for children to acquire skills that allow them to strengthen resilience. A home full of love and affection enables the creation of basic values to face problems and overcome adversity.
Make sure children spend more time as a family in times of stress and change. You can create spaces of play and games, read children’s stories, or have them close and give them a lot of love and understanding.
