Raising resilient children
T
he American Psychological Association proclaims that, the ability to thrive despite these challenges (of childhood) arises
from the skills of resilience”. The good news is that resilience skills can be learned. Building resilience; the ability to adapt
well to adversity, trauma, tragedy, threats or even significant sources of stress can help our children manage stress and feelings
of anxiety and uncertainty. The most pressing need seems to be to teach children the soft skills necessary for developing
resilience. This workshop aims to describe a comprehensive model for understanding soft skills and to provide an innovative
model for soft skills development in children. The workshop provides a bridge between research, teaching and practice and
provides a comprehensive overview of soft skills from their definition to their expression and application in the real world.
