A few tips to develop Resilience in young children-
Teach self-care & independence- Avoid predicting and preventing problems for your child. This might mean letting your child hand in homework that’s wrong, letting them get on their feet by themselves after a fall or not replacing a broken toy. Overcoming small challenges builds your child’s resilience for bigger setbacks.

Nurture a positive Self-image and Self-compassion- Self-compassion helps your child deal with disappointment, failures or mistakes by being kind to themselves. In turn, this helps them to move on from difficult experiences. Focus on their strengths and encourage them to count on them.

Encourage self-discovery & Model learning from mistakes- Help your child to develop self-reflection and problem-solving skills in an age-appropriate way. Practicing what you preach and modeling learning from your mistakes can help set a good example for them to look up to.

Try, Try until you succeed- Make it a habit to recognise and acknowledge when things are going well. However, encourage your child to have another go when things don’t work out the first time they try something. Praise your child for trying, no matter the result.

Children develop resilience over time, so try to be patient and supportive while your child works out how to respond to challenges. We might want to make everything all right for our children, but sometimes your child has to go through uncomfortable feelings so they can work things out for themselves.
