This week’s #WakeUpWednesday post explores how to build children’s emotional resilience.
Facing unpleasant feelings can be a challenge, even for adults – let alone for children and young people, whose minds are still developing. To many of our young people, a mistake in an exam, a hurtful word or even losing in a game can sometimes feel like the worst thing in the world, causing them to react accordingly.
However, this isn’t always an effective way to deal with difficult emotions or life’s setbacks, so it’s important that parents and educators are able impress a healthy approach to these feelings on the children in their care. This free guide offers you expert tips on how to instil emotional resilience in young people, helping them to learn from unexpected feelings and situations – and to process them in a mature, effective manner.
