Identify factors that foster resilience in middle childhood

Please provide the best answer for the statement.


Four broad factors protect against maladjustment in middle childhood: (1) the child’s personal characteristics, including an easygoing temperament and a mastery-oriented approach to new situations; (2) a warm parental relationship; (3) an adult outside the immediate family who offers a support system; and (4) community resources, such as good schools, social services, and youth organizations and recreation centers.
Often just one or a few of these ingredients account for why one child is resilient and another is not. Usually, however, personal and environmental factors are interconnected: Each resource favoring resilience strengthens others. For example, safe, stable neighborhoods with family-friendly community services reduce parents’ daily hassles and stress, thereby promoting good parenting. In contrast, unfavorable home, school, and neighborhood experiences increase the chances that children will act in ways that expose them to further hardship. Several highly effective school-based social and emotional learning programs promote children’s resilience by increasing academic motivation, social competence, and supportive relationships
