Resilience is the ability to overcome stress, adversity, failure, challenges, or even trauma. It’s not something that children either have or don’t have; it’s a skill that they develop as they grow.
Resilient children are more likely to take healthy risks. They are curious, brave, and trusting of their instincts. They are more able to manage their emotions and can solve problems more independently.
Resilience develops when children experience challenges and learn to deal with them positively. See below some strategies that you can use to help your pupils further develop resilience.
