Resilience is the ability to deal with and bounce back from challenges and difficulties, and during this time of pandemic, global change, and uncertainty, our children need this skill more than ever.  Studies show that a few common characteristics help expat kids—as well as other kids—be more resilient.  Today I’ll cover the top four skills to help kids be more resilient.  I’ll  offer you some simple, practical examples and ideas to start cultivating these skills in your kids right now.
