Building Resilience in Children and Teens: Giving Kids Roots and Wings (4th Edition)

by Kenneth R. Ginsburg MD MS Ed FAAP

Parents, teachers, and others will learn how to boost confidence and foster lifelong grit in children. This fully revised and updated edition includes new information about how strength-based relationships are critical to healthy development, especially for children who have had adverse childhood events or experiences (ACEs). 

Dr Ginsburg outlines his 7 Crucial Cs—competence, confidence, connection, character, contribution, coping, and control—and teaches moms and dads how to incorporate these concepts into their parenting. Building Resilience in Children and Teens also presents strategies to help children and teenagers thrive in coping with the stresses of academic pressure, high achievement standards, media messages, peer pressure, or family tension.
