AlGonzalezinfo's insight:
From natural disasters to economic meltdowns, from wars abroad to tragic shootings close to home, this year brought to light the increasing complexity of the world in which we raise kids.
Our natural instinct as teachers, parents and caretakers is to protect children from hardship, yet we know walking between the raindrops of adversity is not possible. Instead of sidestepping challenge, we can teach kids to cope positively, to learn and grow from adversity.
We can arm our youth with skills of resilience, and these lessons can begin in the classroom.
Great scoopl Christine!
It's a good thing resilience is both innate... and can be cultivated!
ABCs of Resilience: Adversity leads to beliefs leads to consequences. Makes a lot of sense. Meshes well with the concept of growth mind-set. Will be good for stage three of our group learning next year. #GSIP
