Introduction

The development of resilience be viewed as one of the most vital ingredients for emotional health and well-being. The ability to deal with situations and bounce back after adversity is of paramount importance for all children, but especially those who live with uncertainty and disruption outside school. A child's social and emotional development is a crucial foundation and provides them with a sense of themselves and enables them to establish quality relationships with other people. Respond to the intensity of what the child is feeling and reinforce this with an affirming tone of voice and facial expression. The role of the facilitator in the group work programmes enables the children in the group to practise self-regulation and provides an opportunity for the facilitator to transfer the new skills to their role across the school. A child's sense of self-worth is deeply affected by their confidence and self-esteem.
