Holly Allenâ��s Forming Resilient Children explores how nurturing a childâ��s spirituality builds resilience amid lifeâ��s challenges. Drawing from theology, developmental psychology, and trauma studies, Allen argues that resilience isnâ��t just a trait children are born withâ�"itâ��s shaped by intentional relationships with caregivers, churches, and communities.
Allen begins by defining childrenâ��s spirituality and Christian formation, then shows how spiritual health supports emotional resilience. She provides practical tools for parents, grandparents, and faith communities, emphasizing intergenerational relationships, wonder-filled Bible engagement, and embodied practices like prayer or play. Later chapters guide readers in helping children through trauma and grief with holistic careâ�"emotional, spiritual, and physical. Her chapter on hope reminds us that resilience is rooted not just in coping but in looking forward.
While some language (like ââ?¬Å"spiritualityââ?¬Â? over ââ?¬Å"Jesusââ?¬Â?) feels broad, her research-based and compassionate approach gives Christian caregivers a deeper framework than surface-level parenting tips often found online. Allen doesnââ?¬â?¢t suggest we must entertain our kids constantlyââ?¬"instead, she calls for intentional, grace-filled presence that allows children to process, question, and grow in faith.
Recommended for parents, pastors, counselors, and educators, this book is a deeply theological and practical guide for forming whole, hope-filled children.
