Teaching points from a kids book about resilience, IM.POSSIBLE:

• Resilience is the ability to bounce back from adversity, and it can be learned. Students can develop resilience by doing hard things, facing failure, and maintaining a positive outlook.
• The word “impossible” can be broken down to “im” and “possible,” suggesting that something that may seem impossible may not be completely out of reach.
• Doing hard things and facing failure can help develop resilience and lead to achieving “im.possible” dreams.
• Students can achieve seemingly impossible feats with hard work, a positive attitude, and not giving up.
• Believing in oneself is crucial to achieving im.possible dreams. Students should focus on their abilities rather than their limitations and have a can-do attitude towards achieving their goals.
• Self-worth is not determined by physical attributes or talent, and everyone is significant and worthy of their dreams. Students should not give up on themselves and continue pursuing their dreams despite any setbacks or negative influences.
• Positive self-talk can make students more resilient, while negative self-talk can cause anxiety, poor performance, and negative feelings. It is essential to identify and reframe negative thoughts and respond with kindness and positive affirmations.
• SMART goals are specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound. Setting SMART goals can help students achieve their dreams by providing a clear framework and roadmap for success.
