Brief Summary

This clinical study aims to learn whether a psychological resilience training program is helpful for children aged 10 to 12 years. The program is designed to help children cope better with stress, get along better with others, and use digital media in a healthier way. The main questions this study seeks to answer are: Does the training increase children's psychological resilience? Does it improve children's social adjustment and close relationships with family and friends? Does it help reduce problematic media use? Children who take part in the study are randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group takes part in a psychological resilience training program, and the other group does not receive any training during the study period. Children and their parents complete questionnaires before the program and again after the program is completed.
