Hi, there's information for SCMP 2 promoting well-being and resilience in children on this page and you'll also find details for ac 1.1 on page 348 of this EYE handbook

Suggestions are

Biological

• Pre-natal factors and the influences before and at birth - mother's diet, health, substance use
• Health status - medical conditions eg. epilepsy, asthma, cystic fibrosis, diabetes
• Transitions eg. starting nursery or school, moving home, new siblings, bereavement
• Learning difficulties eg. Fragile X, Down's Syndrome, autism

Environmental:

• poverty
• housing
• education
• how are risk assessments used in your setting?

Physical

• Diet
• exercise
• Attachment with parents and parenting styles
• Physical impairment eg. deafness, sight problems, spina bifida

From page 348 of this EYE handbook

The impact of biological factors on development
There are many biological factors that can influence children's development. The extent to which will have an impact if often linked to environmental factors. A good example of this is a child who has asthma. While asthma is a biological factor, its impact on the child could be linked to environmental factors such as whether an early years setting is dusty.


and this is a quote from page 128 of the CYPW handbook on amazon.co.uk

Well-being, supporting resilience in children and young people
Resilience is the ability to deal with the ups and downs of life, and is based on self-esteem. The more resilience a child is, the better they will deal 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 independently
• confidence to try new things
