Abstract
Protective factors that may aid in children's resiliency include the following: (a) the child's capacity to recognize and avoid dangers, (b) the child's ability to use adults for caregiving activities, (c) the child's capacity to manage anxiety, and (d) the child's ability to devote him or herself to a cause and find meaning in it. Many children are affected in some aspect by war-related stressors, and school psychologists need to be prepared to provide help for children experiencing psychological distress as a result of exposure.
