Emotional Resilience in Brentwood

Had a great day with pupils at Hogarth School in Brentwood this week when I delivered 2 hours of creative learning with Yrs 5&6 followed by. Crash course in Emotional Resilience coaching with Yr 6 who are in transition and soon to move on to Secondary school. Emotional Resilience, or "Sticks and Stones" is about how to deal with change, ability to choose a response to a situation or what someone says and how to be just selfish enough to be the sort of person who has a a goal and a good enough reason for "Going for it" despite all of life's little banana skins. Thanks to my friends at Yellow Brick Road (Jules and Rowan) with whom I have worked previously for sharing some useful insights and for inspiring my presentation with their own experiences of motivating those who perhaps through social circumstance need it most.
