batters I did not say it was a lack of resilience, please read my post properly, I said the crisis will create resilience, in some children, not all.
For some teens and adults being able to cope with difficult situations will be testing, and hard but ultimately there is a sense of pride in getting through it. I say this as a teen with extremely difficult life circumstances and MH and in the end came out the other side. I am as tough as old boots now. This does not need to be a long term disaster for your child, not at all, do what you can, as much as you can and be a positive example to your dc even if it is the last thing you feel like doing (its okay to cry in the loo, its okay to talk openly about how hard you are finding it, and listening to your children describe their feelings too. It is okay not to be okay sometimes) but for the sake of dc we must show them how we cope. The pandemic is a life lesson for all of us on how to cope. I don't like it either, I am finding it unbearable at times, but we motor on and it will pass. Like everything else. This is a tiny moment in time, a speck in the universe. It will get better.
