In today’s world, there are many challenges that kids will face, but being resilient will help them get over many struggles or situations that they might encounter. Resiliency is the ability to be knocked down by life and get back up. The saying that you fall “seven times, stand up eight” perfectly describes resiliency.
Benefit #1: Overcoming Challenges
Life will always present challenges but becoming resilient when young helps you overcome these issues. For example, being resilient will motivate you to keep going when a big project has to be completed at school. Any challenge you encounter is easier if you become stronger and more resilient.
Benefit #2: More Appreciation
Another benefit people don’t talk about is how much more appreciative people become when they are resilient. Becoming resilient means that you can see the good and the bad in any situation. It is an excellent way to become more grateful for your life and recognize when you have a great life is as opposed to going through a challenge.
Benefit #3: Become Mentally Strong
Remember what was said about falling and getting back up? Resilience can also help you mentally! It can build your ability to become more mentally strong and healthy. You will be able to handle challenges that others can’t when you become resilient, and you’ll feel happier for it too! You might even help your friends through tough times because of your strong mentality.
Benefit #4: Have More Confidence and Control
Another reason that becoming resilient is essential is that it helps you become more confident and have more control over your life. When you know that you can handle anything that comes your way, you have more confidence, and you know that you can control what happens in your life. Of course, this isn’t true all the time, but having more confidence to tackle problems that are too far beyond your control makes you feel better even in the worst situations.
