The 9 Key C’s of Resilience
Kenneth Ginsburg, M.D. in his book, ‘A Parent’s Guide to
Building Resilience in Children and Teens: Giving Your Child
Roots and Wings’ suggests there are seven C’s to building
your child’s resilience:
1. competence
2. confidence
3. connection
4. character
5. contribution
6. coping
7. control.
These 7 key attributes, Dr Ginsburg suggests, are needed to
bounce back from life's challenges.
Expanding on this suggestion, I realised that there were a
further two C's we could add, in order to give your child the
best opportunity to be a Can Do Kid!
8. counting
9. courage
Let's look deeper into each of these C's.
