Tools for teachers -- Children's Resilience Initiative (Original Post by Jane Stevens)

The Children's Resilience Initiative's web site, ResilienceTrumpsACEs.org has an assortment of resilience-building tools for elementary school-age children. 

 

Because we understand the impact of trauma on a child’s sense of safety we are helping to build strategies that build a child’s sense of safety starting with the foundational ability to self-regulate.  We are starting by bringing concrete activities and strategies to teachers that address the basic elements of social emotional development in a class room. We also aim to support teachers own self care as the most critical factor in a child’s learning experience.

 

The tools include Brain songs, Safe Zones, Safe Pocket systems, entry tasks to monitor feelings, and breathing exercises, to name a few.
