Resiliency

This presentation was made by Catalina and Leslie.

This presentation was interesting to hear because I didn't know what the topic was about,but obviously it's something that I do know now...By definition is the ability to adapt to different and hard situations and you are able to resolve this situations.It was a good opportunity to learn a little bit more about resiliency first because it's something that I didn't know like I wrote before and also because it's something that I should be able to have as a tool when I'll teach.

The presentation of the girls was good,because I think it's always a pleasure to hear someone sure about what he or she says like Catalina,which it's something that I think I don't have and I would love to,but I'm working about that,and Leslie nervious but sweet anyway,te only thing that both need to improve is the tone of thier voice.

About the picture...

Caring and support: Listen to students' concerns and answer their questions in direct, factual, age-appropriate ways. (Be careful of giving TOO MUCH information. especially with younger children.)

High expectations: Express your certainty that students can cope with the situation and faith in their strength and inner resources.

Opportunities for participation: Help students come up with ways they can address the crisis themselves: i.e.. raising money, sending cards and letters, forming a Peace Club.

Prosocial bonding: Provide students with positive activities to do together that give them a sense of purpose and mastery in the situation.

Clear, consistent boundaries:Strike a balance between addressing concerns and getting back to a normal schedule. Young people need the safety of familiar rules and routines.

Life skills: Encourage students to communicate their thoughts and feelings. (But balance is again the key: Don't let the talk escalate and overwhelm students).
