In recent years, there has been a lot of research in understanding resilience in children and adolescents. Resilience is a dynamic developmental process referring to the maintenance of positive adjustment under challenging life conditions. It has been described as the capacity to ‘bounce back’ in the face of stress and adversity.

Detailed Explanation

Resilience refers to our ability to adapt positively and recover from life’s challenges and stresses. Think of it as a rubber band; when stretched, it bends but returns to its original shape. Similarly, resilient individuals may face difficulties but maintain a positive outlook and find ways to overcome them. This capability is especially studied in children and adolescents as they navigate various challenges in their developmental stages.

Examples & Analogies

Consider a student who faces bullying at school. Rather than allowing it to destroy their self-worth, a resilient child might seek supportive friends or report the bullying to a teacher. They ‘bounce back’ from that negative experience by finding ways to tackle the situation positively.

Resilience has been conceptualised as reflecting feelings of self-worth and self-confidence, autonomy and self-reliance, finding positive role models, seeking a confidant, cognitive skills such as problem solving, creativity, resourcefulness, and flexibility, and a belief that one’s life has purpose and meaning.

Detailed Explanation

Several key components define resilience. These include: 1) Self-worth and confidence, which help individuals believe in their capabilities; 2) Autonomy and self-reliance, fostering independence; 3) Positive role models and confidants can provide support and guidance; 4) Cognitive skills allow individuals to solve problems creatively and flexibly; 5) A strong sense of purpose gives direction and meaning to one's life.

Examples & Analogies

Imagine an athlete preparing for a big competition. They have confidence in their abilities (self-worth), rely on coaches for strategy (autonomy), look up to past champions as role models, think creatively to tackle challenging routines (problem-solving), and ultimately believe that their training contributes to achieving their dreams (purpose). This combination builds their resilience to handle competitive pressure.

Resilience Resources

Resilience has recently been defined in terms of three resources: I HAVE (social and interpersonal strengths), i.e. ‘people around me I trust and who love me no matter what’; I AM (inner strengths), i.e. ‘respectful of myself and others’; and I CAN (interpersonal and problem-solving skills), i.e. ‘find ways to solve problems I face’.

Detailed Explanation

Resilience can be dissected into three main resources: 1) I HAVE represents the social connections that provide emotional support, such as friends and family; 2) I AM pertains to the personal inner strengths like self-respect and confidence; 3) I CAN refers to the skills necessary to navigate problems effectively. All three aspects play a crucial role in helping individuals cope with adversity.

Examples & Analogies

Consider a young girl facing challenges in school. She has supportive friends (I HAVE), views her hard work as a testament to her capability (I AM), and has learned study strategies to tackle difficult subjects (I CAN). This combination of resources helps her deal with academic stress effectively.

Outcome of Resilience Research

For a child to be resilient, s/he needs to have more than one of these strengths. For example, children may have plenty of self-esteem (I am), but may lack anyone whom they can turn to for support (I have), and do not have the capacity to solve problems (I can), will not be resilient. Outcomes of longitudinal studies of children provide evidence that in spite of extreme vulnerabilities related to poverty and other social disadvantages, many individuals develop into capable and caring adults.

Detailed Explanation

To truly be resilient, individuals must possess a combination of resources described earlier. Just having self-esteem is not enough; without emotional support or problem-solving abilities, a child might struggle when faced with challenges. Longitudinal studies show that despite facing severe hardships, children who develop these strengths over time can grow into well-adjusted adults, illustrating the power of resilience.

Examples & Analogies

Think of a child from a low-income family who excels in school. They may possess a strong sense of self (I AM) due to parental encouragement, have a mentor at school (I HAVE), and effective study habits they learned (I CAN). Such a combination allows them to successfully navigate both academic and life challenges, regardless of external hardships.
