In this episode of Dealing Healing, host Katie Estberg challenges the common notion that children are naturally resilient. She argues that what we often deem as resilience is actually survival adaptation, due to their dependency on adults. Kids absorb their environment, which can result in survival strategies misinterpreted as resilience. True resilience, Katie suggests, is cultivated through environments of safety, support, and trust where children can process their experiences. By creating these spaces, kids can evolve beyond mere survival to genuine thriving, growing into adults who are capable of real resilience instead of coping mechanisms born out of necessity.
