A number of children, many with ADHD and learning disabilities, are at high risk for developing long-lasting problems affecting many areas of their lives, including their social relationships, academic and later professional success, tolerance of frustration and failure, and self-esteem. Factors that contribute to resiliency in these high-risk children are examined, and implications for interventions to enhance their lives are discussed.
