Children who are emotionally resilient tend to learn more effectively and thrive through school. On the other hand, kids who are less adaptable 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 that 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.

Dash into Happy helps parents learn how emotions work, helping them be 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 emotion.
