About

This article describes a new way to measure how well children can bounce back from disasters. It introduces a framework that looks at different aspects of resilience, such as emotional, social, and physical factors. The goal is to better understand what helps kids recover after difficult events like natural disasters or pandemics. By quantifying these factors, the framework aims to improve support systems for children in crisis situations and help them become more resilient in the future.
