This book explores what parents and carers can do to help young children develop confidence and coping skills. These are part of resilience, which really means being able to deal well with tough times. Some things that children need to learn are: to keep trying and not give up; problem solving skills; confidence to ask for help; to think positively in hard situations; willingness to try new things; to have friends and family to help and support them; and feeling okay about themselves
