Teaching skills and building confidence in children

Helping children to explore their concerns and worries about transition and build their knowledge, skills and mental resilience

Change is a normal part of life and can provide opportunities for children and young people to develop their resilience. The words we use and the behaviour we model, as adults, makes a difference to how effectively children deal with change.

Resilient Transitions is built on our unique approach to develop psychological fitness (mental resilience and emotional wellbeing), using a series of activities that can feed into your broader package of support around transitions.

Building positive Neural Pathways

It is essential that children use their lived experience as an opportunity to recognise and build their resilience in a way that will help them learn and grow as they face changes in their lives. We deliver resources and training to support schools to create safe and supportive learning opportunities to develop the skills needed to navigate the changes that are rapidly evolving in the 21st century.

The teaching and learning resources introduce Tia and Tomos as they prepare for transition and learn skills and techniques that help them to prepare effectively for the change ahead.
Parents are often key for children to have a smooth transition. Resilient Transition includes specific opportunities that draw parents into the learning and encourage taking what they learn during the school day back home to practise and master.
