What is emotional resilience?

In its most simplest form emotional resilience is the ability to adapt to change. It is the coping mechanisms and access to healthy relationships that allow us to respond more positively to change and uncertainty.

By providing a stable and supportive environment for children to develop healthy relationships, we enable them to build the resilience they need to cope with any challenging situations that may occur in their lives. By listening to our children, providing safe opportunities for emotional expression, and responding to them in supportive ways, we can help them to build resilience. Teaching resilience is an integral part of education but can also be the hardest. Through the use of stories and activities children can begin to understand the context of these skills and how they relate to them.
