Resilience is defined as the ability
to recover from difficulties. As your young children progress through their
developmental stages, their unique experiences will shape the way they react to
the challenges they face. While attending a day care or preschool, Albuquerque
toddlers and children will be exposed to diverse situations where they will
learn to overcome difficulties with resilience.
At Covenant Schools, the day care
Albuquerque parents love, our staff makes every effort to support the positive
development of each child. The following list features ten ways that day care
centers and preschools actively help children build their resilience.
1: Preschools teach children
problem-solving techniques and strategies which are reinforced as new problems
arise.
2: Day care centers are positive
environments that help children develop positive outlooks on the world around
them.
3: Children are exposed to the
emotions of others, allowing them to learn empathy and gain self-consciousness.
4: Preschools empower children and
enhance their self-esteem by giving them roles, duties or responsibilities that
the child finds meaningful.
6: Children are also encouraged to
make their own decisions which involve critical thinking, emotional regulation
and the realization of cause and effect.
7: Preschools and day care centers
provide positive support structures that foster the resilience of children and
reinforce the fact that they are cared for.
8: Children are faced with
potentially negative situations like not getting their way, falling or being
unable to execute a task; these situations present them with opportunities to
strengthen their resilience.
9: Children can also see how other
adults and children display resilience when faced with difficult tasks.
10: Preschool teachers and day care
facilitators act as guides to help children strengthen their resiliency when
they need support.
Building resiliency is an important
step in the development of your child’s identity. Let the caring and supportive
staff at Covenant Schools provide your child with a foundation for growth.
