Proactive Parents - Teaching Resilience

Research shows that good resilience skills help students perform better at school and avoid risky behaviour. It's important for your child to know how to turn things around when the going gets tough.

    · Children with good resilience perform better at school.

    · Children with good resilience are less likely to take part in risky behaviour.

    · NSW public schools teach resilience skills to children from Kindergarten        to High School.

    · Helping a child feel successful is an important aspect of resilience.
