Growing Strong: Building Resilience in Children 

At our school, we believe that learning is about more than just reading and writing — it's also about growing strong inside! One of the most important skills we can help children develop is resilience.

What is resilience?

Resilience means bouncing back when things go wrong. It's how we stay calm when we make a mistake, how we try again when something is hard, and how we keep going even when we feel a little down.

Here are some simple ways we help build resilience in our students:

🧠 Growth Mindset – We teach children that it's okay not to get things right the first time. Mistakes help our brains grow! Words like "I can't do this... yet" make a big difference.

💬 Talking About Feelings – Children are encouraged to talk about how they feel. This helps them understand their emotions and learn how to cope with challenges.

👐 Kindness and Support – With caring teachers, good friends, and a safe environment, children know they are never alone. Teamwork and kindness make everyone stronger.

🎯 Celebrating Effort – We celebrate not just what children achieve, but how they try. Hard work, trying again, and not giving up are all signs of a resilient learner!

Parents and carers can help at home too — by listening, encouraging independence, and reminding children that every problem has a solution.

Let’s all work together to raise strong, confident kids who can handle life’s ups and downs. Because every child has the power to grow through what they go through!

Together, we can build a brighter, braver future.
