Research shows that increasing numbers of children are struggling with stress, anxiety and emotional regulation, affecting their ability to cope with everyday challenges in school and beyond. Without opportunities to develop resilience, children may become overwhelmed by setbacks, experience reduced self-esteem and disengage from learning. With growing pressures on families and limited access to specialist supports, teachers are often the first to notice when a child is struggling emotionally. This course equips teachers with practical, evidence-based strategies to foster resilience, emotional awareness and coping skills within the classroom.
At CPI, we believe it’s vital that teachers feel confident in supporting children’s emotional development, particularly when external supports may not be immediately available. It’s natural to worry about saying the wrong thing or not knowing how best to help a child who is struggling. This course will help you understand not only how resilience develops, but how your everyday interactions can strengthen it. Most importantly, you’ll see how being a steady, supportive presence can help children build the confidence and skills they need to navigate challenges, both in school and in life.
