HOW CAN I HELP MY CHILD WITH SOCIO EMOTIONAL LEARNING?
Poem - Resilience
Sometimes Life is hard
Sometimes Life’s unfair
Sometimes you feel really sad
And no-one seems to care.
When bad things happen to us
When everything seems ‘grey’
When nothing seems to work out
Then, that’s the time to say
“Time out”
“Think about”
“Try again” another way.
Key Takeaways
"Resilience isn’t just “bouncing back.” It’s “bouncing forward”—learning from challenges and finding the motivation to tackle the next one.
Learning from setbacks can help kids build self-awareness and self-advocacy skills.
Allowing your child to do things that are difficult—and even fail at them—can help build resilience." ~understood.com

Charlie loves the bright red purse that his grandmother let him have. One day, he decides to take it to school. First his father, then his friends, and even the crossing guard question him about his “strange” choice. After all, boys don’t carry purses. But Charlie isn’t deterred. Before long, his unselfconscious determination starts to affect those around him. His father puts on his favorite Hawaiian shirt to go to work, his friend Charlotte paints her face, and the crossing guard wears a pair of sparkly shoes. Thanks to Charlie, everyone around him realizes that it isn’t always necessary to conform to societal norms. It’s more important to be true to yourself. With its humorous, energetic illustrations, this book is sure to entertain young readers. It can also be used to open a discussion on gender roles.
