My passion is building resilience and Wellbeing in everyone, old and young. This website includes regular Posts that have lots of ideas for lessons and strategies from 3-100, and a Resilience and Wellbeing Program that has been developed and tested over 9 years, covering every Social and Emotional Curriculum Standard, and can easily be used by teachers at all levels, parents, and other professionals i.e. Psychologists in any country. The Posters are currently being used at every school level, from Prep /Pre-Primary to the final year at secondary school, as well as in waiting rooms, and by some Psychologists.
The current Lesson Plans and Workbook are best for children from 4 – 8 years, but can be adapted up or down to suit different levels. By the end of 2018 there will be lesson plans and Blackline Masters for all primary grades and up to year 8 – 13 or 14 year olds.
A Western Australian school described the lesson plans and workbook as, ‘The most teacher friendly program we have ever seen!’
The Be Positive Program has been tried, tested and developed over 9 years, with the aim of making a difference to the lives of as many children and adults as possible.
Each lesson has a Learning Intention and a Success Criteria, plus clear instructions.
Resilience – the ability to recover or adjust from difficulties faced in life – is always the underlying focus.
The Program has many strategies to build your ‘Toolbox’ with, so you can
get through any life challenge that is thrown in your direction. Each lesson lists the Personal and Social Capability Continuum Curriculum Standards, which are all covered many times throughout the program.
Posters can be used at every level, as well as at home.
These are lifelong skills to be practised and built on, the more they are used, the more they become ‘normal and natural.’ Building relationships and trust, builds resilience.
