Editorial: Resilience processes and children's development within socio-ecological contexts

Children and youth experience adversity that impacts their development, relationships, learning, and wellbeing. Resilience can mitigate these impacts. This Research Topic of articles advances the science of resilience by uncovering new evidence about how resilience develops as a dynamic interplay between children and their socio-ecological contexts, such as family, school, neighborhood, and culture. Consistent with leading experts (e.g., Masten, 2018; Ungar, 2021), authors conceptualize resilience as a process of adaptation in the context of adversity, which draws upon internal and external resources. Studies examine these processes from infancy (Chazan-Cohen et al.; Horm et al.) and preschool (Clark et al.; Liu et al.; Merculief et al.) to middle childhood (Bates et al.) and adolescence (Giordano et al.; Han et al.).
