Why Resilience Matters

Resilience isn’t about avoiding problems—it’s about learning how to manage them in healthy ways. Children who build resilience are better able to:

💪 Overcome Setbacks – From a tough homework assignment to losing a game, resilient kids keep trying instead of giving up.
😊 Manage Emotions – They learn to handle frustration, disappointment, and stress without being overwhelmed.

🌱 Grow with Confidence – Resilient children feel empowered to try new things and face challenges with courage.

How We Nurture Resilience at Miss Janice’s Out of School Care

Our daily activities are designed to help children practice resilience in small, meaningful ways:

🎯 Problem-Solving Games – Puzzles, challenges, and team projects teach kids to find solutions together.

🤝 Supportive Friendships – We encourage cooperation and kindness, helping children lean on peers for encouragement.

🎉 Celebrating Effort – We focus not just on results, but on persistence, effort, and trying again after setbacks.

Tips for Parents to Build Resilience at Home

Parents play a vital role in strengthening resilience. You can:
✅ Praise Effort Over Perfection – Highlight your child’s persistence, not just their achievements.
✅ Encourage Independence – Let children make small decisions and learn from the outcomes.
✅ Model Resilience – Show how you handle stress and challenges calmly.
