Abstract

This chapter explores children’s resilience in relation to risk, rights and responsibility. This chapter considers how current surplus safety and a caretaker focus on children’s rights, with limited opportunity for responsibility, have eroded children’s opportunities for real risks and real rights, restricting children’s self-efficacy, autonomy and ability to manage and handle challenge. These are key skills needed for developing resilience. This chapter discusses the role of the adult and implications for practice and concludes by drawing these threads together and presenting recommendations for future practice, aimed at supporting children’s resilience through real rights, real risk and real responsibility.
