Abstract
Abstract. Resilience is the ability to survive, adapt, overcome obstacles and rise from failure, disappointment or rejection. The early years of a child's development are essential to understanding, encouraging and building resilience. The concept of resilience built in children must consider a holistic perspective, meaning that the capacity to develop resilience is different for each child. It is influenced by factors within the child (innate) and the surrounding environment, such as parents, teachers, peers, culture, economic level, and complex society. Methods. The method used in this study is a systematic literature review, using an online platform using the keywords resilience among children and resilience among kindergarten. Objective. This literature describes one factor that affects a child's resilience, namely the school environment. PAUD institutions or kindergartens have an essential role in this regard. Teachers and principals can design programs and interventions to support resilience in early childhood. This current article will investigate the importance of resilience by describing studies tapping resilience among students at kindergarten. Results. The study results show that children's age greatly determines their resilience. Teachers must have the proper perspective on resilience to become role models, and schools or PAUD institutions are suggested to plan programs to develop children's resilience as well as interventions for children at risk. Conclusions. The results of this study are expected to be considered by decision-makers in schools, principals and teachers to build children's resilience from an early age.
