Grandparents, teachers, and even bus drivers can help kids become more resilient. They do this through fun activities like reading stories in different voices or taking kids on trips to the zoo. Simple moments, like baking cookies together or teaching a new skill, can also strengthen a child’s ability to handle challenges. These relationships help kids feel supported and loved, which is vital for their development and confidence.
