Weaving Wellbeing (Purple) Tools of Resilience 4th Class Teacher Book

The Tools of Resilience Children’s Pupil Book consists of 10 lessons which are designed to introduce children to six specific evidence-based skills of resilience as follows:

• Perspective
  
• Healthy distraction
• Thought disputation
• Use of authentic character strengths
• Mindfulness
• Problem-focused planning

The children are also introduced to a mindfulness- base calming strategy to help them cope with anxiety, anger and other strong emotions. Each strategy has a specific ‘tool’ which is represented by an image to help the children to understand and utilise the concepts involved. The Pupil Book gradually builds into a highly personal portfolio which reflects the child’s use of each tool. Children also learn what well-being means and the importance of taking care of our well-being.
