Hi, to help analyse the importance and link it to practice where you support resilience in your setting this is a quote from page 171 of the Cache Level 2 handbook:

Quote:
Feelings (emotional development)
When a child falls over but gets back on the climbing frame, they are becoming resilient.
When children shout 'Look at me - I am up high' as they climb, it builds their confidence and gives them high self-esteem.
Children who have plenty of time for free movement in a safe physical environment have opportunities to become adventurous.
To understand why supporting resilience is important this is from page 128 of the Heinemann level 3 handbook
Quote:
Resilience is the ability to deal with the ups and downs of life, and is based on self-esteem. The more resilient a child is, the better they will deal with life as they grow and develop into adulthood.

Many factors can positively affect a child's resilience:
  • secure early attachments
  • confidence of being loved by family and friends
  • good sense of self-identity
  • ability to act independantly
  • confidence to try new things
The importance involves how children need the ability to protect themselves, recognise risk, personal safety and well-being and be satisfied with decisions they make for themselves that may or may not work out the way they expected them to.

Excellent reading about resilience can be found on HandsonScotland.co.uk

Best wishes
