Resilience and the Internationally Mobile Family

Navigating Changes and Transitions

By: William G. Nicoll Ph.D.,Peggy Pelonis Ed.D.

The process of international relocation can be an exciting, empowering, and fascinating life experience. Or, it can be an emotionally volatile situation for family members that may adversely impact personal wellbeing, marital relationships, and/or children’s behavioral and school adjustment. In Resilience and the Internationally Mobile Family, authors Dr. William G. Nicoll and Dr. Peggy Pelonis assist international families, as well as international school educators and employers, in better understanding the internationally mobile family experience. The resilience building model outlined in this book enables parents, youth, schools, and employers to better understand the process of change. It provides practical skills and strategies for successfully navigating the international transition process and realizing a positive, life-changing, and life-enriching experience. In a world where more and more families are moving globally, William G. Nicoll and Peggy Pelonis join theory and practice as they discuss the paradoxical dynamics of these changes. After explaining how different stages of transition frequently present, they offer concrete strategies for how parents and educators can help build resilience during these times. A timely book!

Developing Resilient Youth

Classroom Activities for Social-Emotional Competence

By: William G. Nicoll

Using the most recent research findings on resilience, William Nicoll, PhD, provides educators with a much needed conceptual framework for creating transformative schools and effective classrooms. Developing Resilient Youth suggests that resilience is the missing fourth R in education. When combined with reading, riting and rithmetic, resilience can lead to improved academic and social adjustment in our youth. Developing Resilient Youth is the first book in a series designed to help teachers, counselors, and administrators to develop the skills and strategies necessary for creating truly transformative schools. Such schools strive to develop in students both the academic and the social-emotional skills necessary to succeed and make positive contributions to society. One key component in the overall process of developing transformative schools is the teaching of the five essential social-emotional competencies associated with resilient youth: understanding and respecting self and others; empathy; positive communication; cooperation; and responsible contribution. In Developing Resilient Youth, teachers will find fifty classroom learning activities designed to teach these competencies. Each activity is accompanied by suggestions for follow-up classroom learning activities that integrate the concepts with academic subject area instruction as well as parent homework activities so that parents and teachers can begin to collaborate in the process of developing resilient youth. Working together, teachers and parents will learn to effectively assist children and adolescents to become responsible, cooperative, caring, and contributing young adults, ready to succeed in our global society.
