The early years are the perfect time to lay the foundation for lifelong resilience. Our Dusty and Friends program uses engaging characters like Dusty, Bella, and Macca to help children understand feelings, friendships, and problem-solving in a fun and relatable way.
Key Points:
- Storytelling Power: Characters and narratives help children connect emotionally and remember lessons.
- Safe Practice: Role-play scenarios give children the chance to “practice” resilience in a safe space.
- Parent Involvement: Families are encouraged to join activities, reinforcing learning at home.
Practical Tip for Early Learning Centres:
Incorporate short, interactive story sessions each week that end with an open question—“What could Dusty do next?”—to spark creative thinking and resilience problem-solving.
