The Early Years: Assessing and Promoting Resilience in Vulnerable Children 1

This workbook shows the importance of encouraging resilience in pre-school children who have disrupted home lives or are in other difficult situations. Focusing on assessment of need, the authors show how to evaluate resilience using checklists and background information and considering ‘protective factors’, and make practice’ suggestions for strategies of intervention. The workbook stands alone but also forms part of a set along with two other resilience resources on The School Years and Adolescence. The complete set can be bought together at a reduced price.
