Children who are emotionally resilient learn better and thrive while kids who are not resilient often struggle academically. Resilient children grow stronger when mastering challenges. Individuals with grit, perseverance, fortitude, compassion, empathy, and good conflict-resolution skills can overcome significant barriers to success.

Dash into Happy teaches Social-emotional learning occurs in three ways: children watch their parents and other role models, children are taught directly through precept, and children are taught indirectly through messages from our stories.

As Dash into Happy helps parents learn how emotions work, they are better equipped to facilitate the child’s development of resilience. 

As children gain more facility with talking about their emotions, they usually do much less acting out of their emotions.
