Today’s children face a multitude of pressures, from the everyday challenges of life to the increasing threats of poverty, exploitation, and trauma. Central to growing up successfully is learning to deal with stress, endure hardships, and thrive despite adversity. Resilience – the ability to cope with and overcome life’s difficulties – is a quality that can potentially be nurtured in all young people. The third edition of the Handbook of Resilience in Children, edited by Drs. Goldstein and Brooks, updates and expands on the first edition. New and revised chapters explore strategies for developing resilience in the family, the therapist’s office, and the school as well as its nurturance in caregivers and teachers. The third edition provides researchers, clinicians, academics, allied practitioners and professionals, and graduate students with the information needed to affect positive youth development.
