The Resilience Project Parent Hub

From the Wellbeing Team

Throughout 2022, we will be working closely with The Resilience Project to support the wellbeing of our school community. The Resilience Project delivers emotionally engaging programs and provides evidence-based, practical strategies to build resilience.

 

If you want to learn to ride a skateboard or get better at maths, you need to practise. It’s the same when you want to feel happier! Here are some easy ideas to give Gratitude, Empathy, Mindfulness and Emotional Literacy a try every day. Because the more you practise, the better you will feel.

 

Gratitude 

Draw or tell someone about something that made you feel good today. It could be something as simple as patting a nice dog or as big as winning a running race! Try to do this at the end of every day. 

 

Empathy 

Keep an eye out for how others are feeling today. Maybe you could invite a classmate who doesn’t have anyone to play with at lunchtime to join you. Or if a family member seems a bit sad, give them a hug. Try to show empathy to at least one person every day. 

 

Mindfulness 

Spend some time each day on a quiet activity, like a puzzle, colouring in, drawing or LEGO. These are good breaks for your brain – and fun too!

 

Emotional Literacy 

During dinner, play an emotion guessing game – asking each family member to pull a face of an emotion they felt that day and see who can name the emotion first!
