Our jobs as educators are to help them to:
Make sense of their experiences. It is in their best interest that their parents also help them with this. Notice when a child is in need of assistance and especially when they need someone to talk to.
Develop self-esteem and self-efficacy. Creating a positive and supportive environment can help them to feel accomplished and creates a sense of achievement.
Talk about their feelings in an attempt for them to blow off steam in a good way - by doing this, they may find that other children and adults may have had similar or the same experiences, feelings and problems.

Hello, I know this is a random question and I apologize for dropping it out of the blue but we were wondering if you would have any interest in delegating any SP to @steemwizards in exchange for steem?
We are trying to help the educational community to grow by rewarding high quality educational posts. If you want to see what we are doing, please check out @steemiteducation blog.

If this isn't something you are interested, thank you for your time and we are sorry to have bothered you.

What an important post - I think everybody who has children or works with children need to read it
I agree. Thank you @anneke
Vary good post. It educate us to handle resilient children.
The worst kinda trauma to a child would be sexual abuse. They are confused and they feel betrayed. Especially if it is by someone they know and love.
I agree @perennial. No child deserves anything like that!
Great article thank you
My pleasure. Thank you for your support ;)
I have young kids, and when the have negative feelings, I talk to them about the feelings so that they learn the name of those feelings. I say things like "you are angry because this and that", and I can tell this resonates with them, and they calm down faster.
And whatever feelings they have, especially the negative ones, I tell them that it's perfectly okay to have those feelings, but not necessarily act on them in an unacceptable way.
It's good. They need to understand it and also that it is okay to have such feelings. It makes it easier for them to experience. Keep doing what you're doing ;)
Thank you for reading!
This is a very nice and very important post. Thank you for sharing with us.

Children are never good at listening to older people. But children never fail to imitate an older person.
Too often we give children answers to remember rather than problems to solve !!
Children need strength to lean ,, need a shoulder to cry and need an example to learn something from someone.
Do not let them feel disregarded !!
I don't think most of the teachers are even aware how many children they come in contact with every day are suffering silently.
Excellent post! Resteemed :)
Thanks for sharing, great thoughts and tips. Helpful for educators, parents and even overall community! If most people could think about those "best phrases to teach resilience", children would feel secure, cared and confident. Resteemed!
Thank you very much for your sharing!
Only a pleasure! Thanks for reading ;)
I came from a dysfunctional family and I was abused physically and emotionally as a child. Nevertheless, I graduated from a top university and I also helped students to get into top universities.
The problem with irresponsible parents is: you can change your job, your friends, your boss, but you cannot change your parents. It's worse if you come from a Confucian culture, where elders are assumed to be good and should be respected regardless. Meanwhile, people all over the world celebrate Father's Day and Mother's Day as if everything is fine and dandy for everybody. But you know the divorce rates keep on rising.
Parents can choose to have or not have children. Children don't get to choose to be born or to choose their parents. Or do they? Some people say it's "karma" from past lives. That's hard to verify, because I don't remember my past lives (if any).
By the way, Hitler was abused by his father as a child. Glad I didn't turn out like him.
I'm sorry, I only saw this reply now. Well done for being able to turn your situation around into a positive by graduating and being able to learn from it. That's a great example that adds to my story about resilience.
Thanks for reading and replying ;-)
