Program purpose
The Resilience Playground enhances emotional intelligence (EQ), your ability to self-regulate, and your ability to work well with others. It builds resilience so that your child can handle adversity and develops communication skills and creative thinking - two of the most important skills for success in life.
“The Resilience Playground is a brilliant resource offering teachers short, engaging modules to teach critical life skills like emotional intelligence, being present and collaboration. I truly believe this is the missing component in our traditional academic curriculum. Too often, we focus solely on academic achievement without equipping students with the tools to work in teams, navigate relationships or build self-awareness.”
