Cultivating resilience is one of the most important ways we can overcome challenges and reach our goals.

Children will then create their own video to explain and teach resilience to others. Designed with fourth and fifth grade learners in mind, this activity will help children build important self-awareness, social awareness, and emotional mindfullness skills.
