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.
