How does resilience develop differently in individuals based on their upbringing, environment, and support networks?
Upbringing: Children raised in nurturing, stable households often have more opportunities to learn coping skills, confidence, and problem-solving. In contrast, children in unpredictable or stressful households may develop resilience through overcoming challenges, though it may be harder without guidance.
Environment: A safe, resource-rich environment allows individuals to practice independence and decision-making, while high-stress or unsafe environments can either strengthen resilience (through adversity) or hinder it if support is absent.
Support networks: Having supportive family, friends, teachers, or mentors provides encouragement, feedback, and a safety net during setbacks. Individuals without these networks may struggle more but can still develop resilience through self-motivation and personal coping strategies.
