From the Understood Team
Want to help kids build resilience? This trait helps kids learn from setbacks and move forward. One way you can teach resilience is by using books. When kids read or hear stories of how others face challenges, they learn from seeing resilience in action.
To help you get started, we asked our Understood Teacher Fellows to share their favourite books about building resilience in children and teens. The teachers also included questions to help kids talk, write, or make drawings about the books.
The following are links to a list of children and teen books with descriptions.
What You’ll Learn
Picture books about resilience
Graphic novel about resilience
Chapter books about resilience
Memoir about resilience
The Understood team also provides these interesting articles with actionable strategies.
