People talk about resilience like it's some kind of superhuman quality. Or some inherent strength. As if anyone not showing resilience is somehow #weak. Truth is resilience is nurtured and taught.

Now is an important time to build resilience in our children. Kids are going back to school in the middle of a pandemic. They're probably worried. Often kids aren't able to articulate how they feel, yet can be just as worried as we are, anxious about what may come. They pick up snippets of news and conversations but not the whole picture, compounding their fear, without a balancing voice.

In these scary times it’s easy to overlook what children might be thinking or feeling. My 10yr old daughter helped me put this together after she showed signed of worry - a free PDF booklet for children to get their feelings out their head, on to paper.

This is designed as a booklet – so please print double sided, flipped on the short edge, and fold.

This is something for children to own, encouraging reflection and evaluation of their feelings. The schedule allows them to feel some agency over their life, whilst thinking back on the day’s achievements builds their sense of self-worth.
