THE RESILIENCE PROJECT
As parents and carers, we know you want to show up for your kids, support their mental health, and encourage them to be the best they can be. An important part of showing up for our children, however, is first showing up for ourselves.
Here are some ideas you can try at home.

Empathy
Family games
10-20m
Introduction
Working on empathy helps us to identify, understand and feel what another person is feeling. When we show empathy or do something kind for someone else our brain releases oxytocin. This leads to us increasing our self-esteem/confidence, energy levels, positivity and overall happiness.
Daily Reflection: Ask everyone in the family to name someone who was kind to them today. What did that person do? How did it make you feel?
Playing games is a great way to spend time together as a family. Games are also a great way to model empathy by demonstrating how to encourage each other, how to be a good winner and loser and how to take turns, follow rules etc.
Here is a list of games to play as a family.
• Duck, duck goose.
• What’s the time Mr. Wolf?
• Freeze tag or freeze dance.
• Poison ball/dodge ball.
• Tunnel ball.
• Follow the leader.
• Simon says.
• Hide and seek.
• Your favourite family board game.
• Bowling/Skittles (set up some plastic bottles and throw a ball to knock them over).
