Why some children do well despite early adversity: Resilience Video Series
Reducing the effects of significant adversity on young children’s healthy development is critical to the progress and prosperity of any society. Yet not all children experience lasting harm as a result of adverse early experiences. Some may demonstrate “resilience,” or an adaptive response to serious hardship.

These three videos provide an overview of why resilience matters, how it develops, and how to strengthen it in children.
