Developing Grit and Resilience Strategies

This term we’ve been inquiring into what is Grit and what strategies we can use to get us through challenges both in learning and with other people. This Grit Toolkit will grow over time and help us to take on new challenges with confidence.

Sometimes challenges might make us feel frustrated so we can practice breathing, going to nature outside or drawing to calm us down. We can also use positive self-talk and tell ourselves positive things so we persevere. We can also find someone we can tell our feelings to.

Sometimes the challenges can be about how we communicate with other people. We have been learning about how we can talk about what is bothering us, ask for help if we need it and use good teamwork skills to help each other succeed!
