Practical Strategies to Develop Resilience in Children

In this course, Rachel Tomlinson (B.A., Psych; PGDip, Psych; registered psychologist) defines resilience, arguing for its crucial importance in achieving optimal mental health outcomes for children. Addressing both the indirect work of fostering resilience through helping parents facilitate it and the direct work through child clients, Tomlinson offers a multitude of strategies – explaining how and why they work – to build the autonomy, self-efficacy, and self-regulation that are implicit in a resilient approach to life.
