For me, it's simple. I want children to have the tools to cope with life BEFORE they reach the point where everything feels to much. Through my own life and working closely with children and their families over the years, I have seen first-hand the pressures children face so I know that supporting a child means supporting the people around them too. I really believe it takes a village. By working with children, families, schools and the wider community, we can wrap a child 360° and make sure we are all headed in the same direction. This is exactly what drew me to the Resilient Kid. I want children to recognise and understand their emotions and vitally their strengths too to build resilience and believe in themselves whilst at the same time supporting the adults around them and equipping them with a toolbox too. When we strengthen the village around a child, we give them the best possible chance to become the very best version of themselves.
