Resiliency is a new concept diffused during the last years which gives us a new, different, and hopeful perspective on the old problems of our pupils. All the people working in the field of health or education know children or adolescents who meet difficulties that seem difficult or impossible to overcome. Notwithstanding this, reality reveals that once overcame this situation, people can lead a creative, optimistic, and balanced life when they reach adulthood. This model may oppose the risk model, or complement it. It describes the existence of protective shields or resiliency factors that diminish adversity effects and turn them into surmountable factors.

Rachel the squirrel was in trouble. Ten little squirrel couples had founded the town, and they lived in their 10 beautiful little houses. But over time the houses had become too small. They were accumulating memories of trips, little squirrels were being born, or they were simply getting fatter. And the time came to make a decision: either they would make the house bigger, or they would each have to move to a new house and start from scratch separately.

But making the house bigger seemed impossible. As soon as the construction started and everything was full of dust and dirt, there was no room for anything, and the house turned out to be even worse than the one they had. No squirrel couple could put up with that for long, and so they ended up leaving their house under construction. That's how “Squirrels-ville” started to look like a ghost town full of half-fixed empty houses...

Only the crazy ones from the Indestructible Squirrels were still working. They were among the first to start and had never finished. What's more, from the outside, their house looked the worst, always surrounded by cranes, fabrics, debris, and dirt. So horrible was it, that their neighbors advised them:
They should give it up now and recognize that this house is beyond repair. It would be so easy to start each one in their new little house...

And the truth is that the Indestructible Squirrels were fed up with building work, and they didn't even know if they would ever finish it. When one thing failed, the other failed. But that was their little house, where they had lived so many things together, and they didn't want to give it up so easily. Soon theirs became the only inhabited house among so many ghostly abandoned houses.
