Summary/Abstract: This article pays attention to the need of changing, a very popular in Polish pedagogical theory and practice preventive approach, which focuses on diagnosing and eliminating the influence of risk factors that are threatening for children and teenagers. In Polish schools there is a lack of positive preventive practice effects, based on strength and recourses of children, especially for children from the families with alcohol problems. The number of children coming from this kind of families is the biggest in the population of threatened children. As for the children, using the idea of resiliency would be especially promising for designing preventive effects having the character of positive prevention. This conception explains how it is possible to support the process of coping with adversities, achieving additional protection by an individual, developing the skills of coping with disruptions resulting from a stressful event.
