How well we cope with hardship and change is based on a concept called resiliency. Resiliency is the ability to bounce back from setbacks and cope with adversity. In other words, it is our ability to react positively and adapt well to change when things go poorly.
Parents and caregivers play a vital role in helping children respond well – even flourish – when life throws them a curve ball. The Bounce Back Book series is designed to help parents and other caregivers nurture children to be strong and resilient.
These interactive tools suggest fun, engaging and hands-on activities that parents and caregivers can do with their young children to learn about and develop skills in resiliency. The Bounce Back Book: Building Resiliency Skills in Your Preschooler, focuses on four core areas known to increase resilience in toddlers and preschoolers: self-confidence, emotional regulation, problem solving and empathy. The Bounce Back Book: Birth to 2 Years focuses on building the relationship between parents/caregivers and the child.
