Resiience isn't just bouncing back - it's bouncing forward!
Hello et Bonjour,
We can become stronger and better at tackling the next challenge that is sure to come along. It is thought that the key to resilience is our mindset, how we think about the challenges we are facing. We are sure facing some now!
Key Takeaways
"Resilience isn’t just “bouncing back.” It’s “bouncing forward”—learning from challenges and finding the motivation to tackle the next one.
Learning from setbacks can help kids build self-awareness and self-advocacy skills.
Allowing your child to do things that are difficult—and even fail at them—can help build resilience." ~understood.com

Poem - Resilience
Sometimes Life is hard
Sometimes Life’s unfair
Sometimes you feel really sad
And no-one seems to care.
When bad things happen to us
When everything seems ‘grey’
When nothing seems to work out
Then, that’s the time to say
“Time out”
“Think about”
“Try again” another way.
Have a good week everyone,
Linda Campbell
