In her new book "The 5 Principles of Parenting: Your Essential Guide to Raising Good Humans," Aliza Pressman outlines how parents can raise resilient kids. Pressman is a developmental psychologist and co-founder of the Mount Sinai Parenting Center. One key step is self-regulation, or the ability to respond to experiences in a way that is socially acceptable. Gentle parenting calls for caretakers to do this in lieu of scolding an upset or frustrated child. "By sharing our sense of calm with our kids, we slowly teach them how to regulate on their own when they sense a possible threat," she says.

"By sharing our sense of calm with our kids, we slowly teach them how to regulate on their own when they sense a possible threat," Pressman says.

In her book, Pressman defines the "Five R's" of raising resilient kids. RelationshipsStrong relationships can help a child feel like they can handle adversity. Toxic stress: This is a strong response to prolonged adversity, such as seeing violence or experiencing persistent economic hardship. Toxic stress occurs in the absence of protective relationships. Enforcing both can help kids feel "safe," Pressman says.
