Handbook of Children’s Coping

This comprehensive guide to childhood stress and resilience examines fifteen common stressors that challenge healthy development, from family transitions to academic pressures. The book bridges the gap between psychological research and practical intervention, analyzing both short-term effects and long-term consequences of childhood adversity. It identifies key factors that explain why some children adapt successfully while others struggle, providing evidence-based insights into the mechanisms of coping and resilience.

What sets this resource apart is its dual focus on understanding variability in children's stress responses and evaluating preventive interventions that actually work. The discussion of uncontemplated stressors offers fresh perspective on overlooked challenges that impact youth mental health. Mental health professionals, educators, and parents will find actionable strategies for building coping skills and fostering emotional resilience in young people facing difficult circumstances.
