Resilience is when you don’t let anything keep you down.

Talking Points:

  • The two things you can control:
    • Your effort. No one can stop you from trying your hardest. It’s a choice you get to make.
    • Your attitude. You can choose to be positive, even when you mess up or don’t get your way.
  • Use every situation as a way to learn how from your mistakes- that’s resilience!
