Our School counselor Ms Sangeetha and Assistant Coordinator Ms Rekha Rani have attended the Regional Summit of School Principals on ‘Dealing with Failures – Developing Resilience in School Children’ organized jointly by ICTRC and Foster Billabong High International School on June 27, 2018 at Foster Billabong High International School, Secunderabad.
The main objective of this summit was to help School Principals and Counselors develop a comprehensive understanding of the concept of resilience so that they could give leadership and direction to the School Resilience Program and integrate in their school guidance program.
The 21st Century is proving to be a very challenging for children and youth. They are faced with a broad range of adversities, placing them at great risk of emotional as well as academic problems.
Our delegates learned important aspects of the theme of the summit. Dr.V.S Ravindran, Director General of ICTRC and Professor Keshav created awareness on how to develop resilience skills in school children through inspiring real-life examples and stories.
The summit also included an orientation on developing ‘right attitudes’ in children and teaching them the mantra of ‘temporariness’ and accepting failures as temporary things in life and not as the final one. Dr. Ravindran also mentioned methods to train parents on nurturing children at young age for developing resilient skills. As early childhood experiences have a great impact in human life, if children are taught to delay gratification and learn to wait for rewards, these processes will help them be more resilient. Giving the example of marshmallows experiment and stressing on the phase of children from Pre-primary years and primary years as important phases for children. Professor Keshav oriented the gathering on ‘The road to resilience’ and shared tips on identifying high risk children in the school.
Overall this summit gave our school representatives personal and professional insights about the process of resilience and inspired them to inculcate the same through the teaching and learning process.
