Research has shown that it is not the most intelligent, the strongest physically, or even the most resourced children that achieve success in life but it is those with grit; those who are resilient. This is something we feel passionately about, we can empower our children with those skills by allowing them to learn to be resilient and by encouraging them to have good levels of self esteem.
