As a result, many children struggle not because they're incapable, but because they haven't had enough opportunities to practice recovery, problem-solving, and effort in conditions designed for success.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book reframes resilience as a learned behavioral skill, not a personality trait, mindset, or motivational slogan. Drawing from decades of behavior science and real-world experience, Gavoni and Ward show how everyday moments-homework resistance, sports setbacks, emotional meltdowns, social conflict-either build self-efficacy or quietly teach avoidance, depending on how adults respond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing the timeless structure of the Hero's Journey, S.H.I.T.
