Research shows that stress during childhood can reshape brain development, increasing risks for various issues. However, many children manage to overcome these challenges and flourish. Resilience, defined as the ability to adapt to adversity, hinges on both internal factors, like self-control and emotion regulation, and external support, such as caregiving. Parents significantly influence resilience by creating a nurturing environment. Recognizing when a child is struggling is critical, as even without clear communication, their difficulties can affect their coping abilities and overall development.
Research indicates that stress and hardship experienced during childhood can cause changes in the brain that increase children's risk of developmental delays, health issues, and mental health problems.
Internal factors such as self-control, emotion regulation, and one's belief in accomplishing a goal can help them recover from adversity.
Contrary to what many parents may believe - that children are naturally resilient - resilience requires action.
Once you can identify that they are having difficulties, you can take steps to help foster resilience.
