WHAT IS ProSILIENCE?

Prosilience, specifically in terms of children, is the ability to successfully adapt to life's tasks in the face of adverse conditions or to “bounce back” from negative experiences. The concept of prosilience is not a trait, but rather a process used to manage life circumstances. Resiliency can be inherited, given or acquired through learning processes (Böhm & Hehlmann, 2000). In a multilingual educational setting, families and educators both play an important role in a child’s ability to settle into a new and foreign environment and to then succeed within it. Working together towards this common goal will help to promote prosilience in your child.
