At Fielding, our values-based approach continues to guide how we help children grow—not only academically, but emotionally and socially. One of our core values is resilience: the ability to bounce back from challenges, keep going when things are tough, and learn from mistakes.

As part of our Values-Based Living initiative, we are offering practical ways for families to reinforce these values at home. By using simple and consistent language, we can work together to help children build inner strength and a positive mindset.

Why Focus on Resilience?
Resilience helps children feel confident in the face of difficulties. Whether it’s persevering with a tricky piece of homework, handling big feelings, or navigating friendship challenges, resilience is a skill that supports lifelong wellbeing.

How Can You Help Build Resilience at Home?

• Encourage a 'try again' attitude: Praise effort over outcomes.

• Talk about emotions: Let your child know it is okay to feel upset or frustrated.

• Model bouncing back: Share moments when you have had to keep going despite difficulty.

• Use the right language: Reinforce resilient thinking with everyday words and phrases.
