Week 5: Roles of Families, Schools, Culture, and Community in Promoting Resilience of Children

Hello everyone, this module is about Ordinary Magic.

You're going to be learning why I titled my book on resilience

in children Ordinary Magic, and you will figure that out as we go along.

We're going to talk about the short list, this is a list of the most common

protective factors that are associated with resilience in children.

And as you can see on this list,

they range from relationships to what's going on in the mind and

brain of a child, to effective schools and communities.

We will focus on adaptive systems in the child.

These are the systems we walk around with that we know that

children have that develop through many interactions in their life, but

that they walk around with, like their brain function,

their self-control skills, their motivation to learn.

We're going to talk about the importance of these systems and how they develop.

One of the important ways they develop is in relationships, so

we're going to talk about the roles that close relationships have

in supporting and fostering resilience in children.

In particular, we'll talk about the attachment system.

We all form many kinds of attachment throughout our life and

attachment relationships play a profoundly important role in resilience,

as well as normal development.

And these attachments take many different forms, ranging from the attachment bonds

that we have with our caregivers, to the attachments we develop with

other people as we grow up, with our pets, with our culture,

and with many other kinds of people and things.

You will be meeting one of the champions of family resilience, Froma Walsh.

We're going to talk about the importance of family function for child resilience

and the ways in which resilience in the family protects the resilience in a child.

We'll also talk about the role of culture and

community in the resilience of individual children as well as their families.

And those protections include the adaptive systems of spirituality and religion.

We'll also talk about the roles of school and school systems in

the development of children, and in particular for resilience in children.

Schools provide many resources, and

they foster the development of many other adaptive systems in the child.

But they also provide a lot of opportunities to develop talents and

opportunities to form relationships with other children and

with teachers and mentors who play an important role in resilience.

Along the way, in this module we will also talk about some of

the dangers of adaptive systems.

The same adaptive systems that can be very important and positive for

human resilience can also be hijacked and misused to harm the lives of children.
