Building Resilience in Children and Teens: Giving Kids Roots and Wings

Bestselling author and pediatrician Dr. Kenneth Ginsburg provides important insights for parents and caregivers with this fully revised and updated fourth edition of his award winning book, Building Resilience in Children and Teens. This edition includes new information how strength-based relationships are critical to healthy development, especially for children who have endured toxic stress, adverse childhood events or experiences (ACEs), or trauma.

Dr. Ginsburg outlines his seven 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 detailed coping strategies to help children and teenagers deal with the stresses of academic pressure, high achievement standards, media messages, peer pressure, or family tension.
