19 June, 2017 @ 9:30 am - 2:30 pm UTC+10
We all recognise the importance of developing children’s social and emotional resilience. The ability to deal with difficult and sensitive issues in a constructive way, coping with challenges and changes and developing a bank of personal emotional strengths are essential to a happy and healthy life.
This workshop will focus on:
- defining resilience and the impact it has on development
- building children’s capacities and confidence
- the role of teachers educators and parents in building resilience
- developing effective practice and strategies to build resilience
- how to work in partnership with parents to build children’s resilience.
