A protective behaviours and resilience book review by Kayelene Kerr from eSafeKids.
Resilience is written by Jayneen Sanders.
A children's book to encourage resilience, persistence, and to help children bounce back from challenges and adversity.
Meet Emmi! She is resilient, independent and courageous. She always tries her best, and even when the going gets tough, Emmi never gives in. This charming story uses verse and beautiful illustrations to model resilience, persistence, and the ability to face challenges with tenacity.
Children who are resilient are brave, curious, confident and problem solvers. Nurturing these traits in our children will go a long way in helping them face the many challenges they will encounter throughout their lives.
Also included are Discussion Questions for parents, caregivers and educators, and suggested activities to promote children's resilience.
Age Recommendation:
Resilience is recommended for children aged from 4 - 9 years, as with all books you can start reading this book from a younger age.
