How can I build resilience in children and teach them healthy coping skills?

[Brenda]

Encourage open communication and validate their feelings and experiences. Teach problem-solving skills and encourage them to break tasks into manageable steps. Foster a sense of autonomy and independence by allowing them to make age-appropriate decisions. Model healthy coping strategies and resilience in your own behavior, and provide opportunities for them to practice resilience-building activities like sports, art, or community service.
