We all know someone who is resilient; who seems to be able to face obstacles and bounce back time after time. They must have been born with the resiliency gene. Not so. Resiliency is a skill, a way of thinking, a way of doing that can be taught. Resilience is the ability to overcome difficult experiences and be stronger for it.  There are very strategic actions parents can take to increase their children’s resiliency.  Yes, resiliency can be taught… and parents, you are the teachers!
