Following on from the information session held for Year 7 parents last week we have a copy of Madhavi Nawana Parker’s book available for parents to borrow in the Senior Library:

The Resilience and Wellbeing Toolbox - Madhavi Nawana Parker

The Resilience and Wellbeing Toolbox is an inspiring book and a beacon for social emotional change in schools. Within these pages teachers and other professionals will find fantastic resources that they can easily implement in the classroom. By following this programme, teachers will see their students developing skills in persistence, problem solving and emotional regulation as well as independence, empathy, kindness, contribution and good will, whilst planting the essential seeds of resilience and wellbeing. Helpful suggestions offered in each chapter on how to bring wellbeing and resilience into the home can be shared with parents and families.

The lively and engaging resources in this book include:

Practical, photocopiable guide sheets and worksheets, also available as eResources

Adaptable role plays and activities

Solid research-based strategies

A flexible framework that can be creatively implemented in the classroom

This is a must-have handbook for anyone seeking to provide young people in their care with a strong foundation for better social, emotional and learning outcomes.
