The Role of Optimism in Resilience

Pervasiveness. How far into our life will it go? You know, if a child struggles in a biology class, does she then assume that she'll struggle in math? If one soccer coach doesn't choose you for the A team, do you assume the next soccer coach won't as well? So pervasiveness. What will it take for me to recover? Is it going to be a big deal? That's interesting. It's super hard. But the way out for a resilient child is I will do whatever it takes. And again, do remodel that as mom and dad's as consistently as possible.
