Welcome to May and our 5th social-emotional learning theme of the month! This is, arguably, one of the most important skills we can help our kids develop so get ready for some great information and strategies!
In this first week of the month, we will define our theme, discuss why it's an important SEL skill and talk real-world application. This will serve as a springboard for the resources and other ideas I will be sharing throughout the remainder of the month.
So, let's dive in!
What are resilience and perseverance exactly? You may not know there is a difference between them, but there is! Here's a good starting point to use with kids of all ages. You can adjust this definition to best fit the needs of the age group you work with. I know many of these themes are pretty self-explanatory, but sometimes we just need someone else to sum it up for us!
Now that kids know what resilience and perseverance are, we need to help them understand why these skills are important and how they will be beneficial to them.
Next, we can begin connecting resilience and perseverance with kids' real lives by helping them recognize what these skills actually look like and when they may come in handy!
Resilience is a skill that takes some time and support to fully develop. How can you aid your kids or students in resilience building this month and beyond?
Be sure to follow along all month right here on the blog, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. I will be sharing all sorts of tips, strategies and resources throughout May.
