This is a classic - I have just typed up all the things the children have written about what resilience means and what you can do if you make a mistake.
I THEN lost all that I had typed - and my first thought was to “flag it” - then I thought of my 7, 8 and 9 year old students whom I had just read all what they had written - and their words rang in my head. . DON’T GIVE UP!
The questions asked were:
What does resiliency mean to you?
Draw and write about a time that you have 'bounced' back from, a frustrating/hard time. What did you do?
How did you feel after you 'bounced' back?
If you make a mistake, what can you do?

RESILIENCE:
Never give up. Turn over to the clean page - don't waste it. It's ok to make mistakes, it's not ok to stop! You can take a deep breath, close your eyes and think of a good time. Bounce back and get over it. Start again. Have a sleep or have a handful of raw cashew nuts. Make it better. Start it over again and play it in a positive way. Keep on trying. I felt proud of me. I felt positive and then went for a sleep. Get stronger. You can do it. If you say I can't do, say that's not true, say to yourself I can't do it yet. Learn from it. Learn from Miss Take. Fix it up. Get over something. You cross it out and try again and don't give up. When I went to my Auntie's funeral I was sad, but I felt positive as I realised she was watching me. Become a new person. Get a new life. Eat an ice-cream or something yummy. Sing a song. Take a deep breath. Don't let yourself down. Say sorry and stop it. I know it looks bad but you will get through it, let's take a break.
Reach your goal and never give up on what you're trying to do. Trying your best, best, best! When I had to leave my old house I was sad and I thought about our new house and how much better it was going to be. Get on with your life. Believe in yourself, that you can do it! Sometimes you can't do it, yet! Bounce back and try again or get over it. If ti's a big mistake then try again, if you can't then you just have to get over it. If it's a small mistake either fix i or try again instead of sitting on the floor crying. Get over it in a positive way. Make me happy. Try to sort it out yourself or talk to someone.
