Resilience is the ability to bounce back from or adapt well to a stressor. When a middle schooler doesn’t bounce or adapt, the risks are higher than ever before in his/her life. Due to the increased pressures in his/her environment and the changes happening inside each child, adolescents are naturally prone to depression, anxiety, and acting out behaviors. This talk will focus on ways to know when your child could use a little extra help bouncing back and adapting, what skills are most likely to help them do so and how to teach them better resilience.
