Resilience and self-management include noticing a trigger and distress, using a strategy to regulate, choosing helpful self-talk, and deciding how to persevere after a setback. A growth mindset treats ability as developable; a fixed mindset treats it as unchangeable.
Spend 10–15 minutes making a resilience vocabulary path with trigger, distress, regulate, self-talk, setback, growth mindset, fixed mindset, and persevere.

Check understanding
- Explain what 'resilience' means in their own words and give an example of a time they kept going when something was hard
- Use 'growth mindset' correctly — e.g. 'I can't do it yet, but I can improve with practice'
- Define 'self-regulation' and describe a strategy they use to manage frustration or setbacks
“If your child's team loses a match or they fail a test, can they talk about what happened using words like 'resilience' or 'growth mindset' — showing they understand the difference between giving up and bouncing back?”
