| Supportive Relationships and Active Skill-Building Strengthen the Foundations of Resilience: Working | Science shows that children who do well despite serious hardship have had at least one stable and committed relationship with a supportive adult. These relationships buffer children from developmental disruption and help them develop ?resilience,? or the set of skills needed to respond to adversity and thrive.
