Abstract
This parent’s observation about the type of environment her child would function and feel best in is a frequent comment made by parents of children struggling to meet the academic, social, emotional, and behavioral expectations of childhood in the twenty-first century. Mental health and educational professionals have increasingly become sensitized to the important role the behavior of adults and the environments in which children are placed serve in helping or hindering their growth and development. This area of practice and science has come to fall under the umbrella of resilience.
