Abstract

A brief exploration of resilience and child development is presented. The concepts of resilience and ‘risk competence’ are elaborated on along with some of the practice implications of these with respect to child care and wellbeing. Questions are raised regarding managing childhood risks while at the same time enabling children to become capable in assessing and handling risks themselves.
