To introduce the Personal goal resilience we talked about the character Nemo, who all the children were familiar with. Nemo is a very resilient character. Even though he has a damaged flipper and sometimes finds it difficult to swim as fast as the other fish, he does not get upset and he tries really hard. Even when things go wrong, Nemo keeps on trying and trying and gets there in the end!
We then read this fantastic book by Miss Maija's favourite author - Anthony Browne.
It is a story about two boys called Sam and Jeremy. Jeremy is always showing off about new things he has and does not share anything with Sam. Sam does not let it upset him and he chooses to ignore Jeremy's rude comments. At the end of the story he even helps Jeremy when he falls in the water. After we read the story we discussed how Sam reacted to Jeremy's behaviour and whether he showed resilience.
Talk more about resilience at home together with your child!
