Nurturing Future Generations:  Promoting Resilience in Children and Adolescents Through Social, Emotional, and Cognitive Skills, Second Edition
“In her second edition ofNurturing Future Generations, Rosemary A. Thompson brings together two of the most important and exciting bodies of developmental-clinical research: studies of resilience and studies validating intervention programs and practices to promote youth well-being. By adopting a systems approach, she helps to link our descriptive understanding of the broad phenomena of resilience with the scientific study of how schools, communities, and service agencies can most effectively intervene to alter the developmental assets and processes that promote resilience in youth. This book is an excellent and comprehensive resource for educators, service providers, researchers, and students interested in enhancing positive youth development and well-being.” -J.
