Social Emotional Learning Skill - Resilience
Resilience is a term that might come up as the school year unfolds. Are you acquainted with it? Resilience is all about helping your child bounce back from challenges. It’s like having a spring in their step even when faced with difficulties. To foster this trait, consider discussing a recent setback or tough situation with your child. Brainstorm together how they can tap into their resilience, stay strong, and handle life’s ups and downs with grace.
Curious to find more ways to empower your child’s resilience? Dive into this insightful article by clicking on the link below. It’s packed with practical tips and resources that will truly make a difference.

Family Fun For Resilience: Ups and Downs Towers
“Ups and Downs Tower” is an interactive resilience-building activity using any kind of building blocks or other building materials. Gather materials from around the household that can stack. As you and your child construct the tower, discuss challenges, emphasizing how setbacks are like wobbles. Share stories of overcoming difficulties, then add challenges like gently blowing on the tower to depict obstacles. Celebrate resilience when the tower wobbles but stands, relating it to facing challenges. Keep building higher, adding more challenges, and reflect on lessons learned, linking them to real-life situations. The aim is to teach resilience as adapting and staying strong amid life’s challenges.
School Counselor Services: Mindfulness and Stress Reduction
Your school counselors introduce valuable mindfulness techniques and effective strategies for reducing stress. These tools are designed to assist students in managing anxiety, improving focus, and nurturing emotional well-being. Feel free to explore these techniques with your counselors to promote a healthier and more balanced mindset.
