Girls more resilient than boys in troubled households

~ Jason Schwartz
Here’s a brief report on a study finding that girls are 4 times more resilient than boys in overcoming adversity at home, such as a heroin addicted parent.

The details are sketchy and the study isn’t posted on the journal’s webpage yet. I’ll try to get more info and do another post on it.
