Responsive exchanges with adults help children develop essential skills for managing stress and coping with adversity. Through these interactions, children receive emotional support, validation, and guidance, fostering a sense of safety and security. Adults model healthy coping strategies and provide opportunities for children to practice regulating their emotions and problem-solving. Ultimately, responsive exchanges create a nurturing environment where children can develop resilience and confidence in facing life’s challenges.

The palm tree analogy is a good reminder that we can teach children how to cope with stress if we acknowledge their responses and observe situations that are causing them to express their stress. Through example/modeling behavior (implicit) and even activities that teach stress management (explicit instruction) we can help children build resilience.

Praise them when they do well, not just with a casual “good job,” but by expressing that they did something very well. Provide children with more verbal and nonverbal communication to boost their confidence.
