Term 2 Week 7
From the Principal’s Desk
Welcome to week 7.
Skills in resilience are promoted in NSW Public Schools
because through them, children learn to deal with the
“pot-holes of life”. Research shows children with good
resilience perform better at school and are less likely to
take part risky behaviour, particularly as they enter the
teenage years.
Next time your child is furrowing their brow and staring off
into space, ask them if they're thinking dolphin or shark
thoughts. That's the advice from psychologist and
resilience specialist Andrew Fuller on helping your child to
recognise the positive (dolphin) or negative (shark)
approaches they may be taking on life issues.
"Dolphin thinking can help you out and shark thinking can
eat you up. It doesn't matter how old your kids are, they
can still understand it," Andrew says.
Dolphin thinking and shark thinking is just one in a series
of simple tools you can use to help your child develop
good resilience skills. Other tools include playing games
and puzzles with your child to develop their problemsolving and concentration skills, teaching your child to
read people's emotions to understand objective situations,
and helping them toStudent
learn howBanking
to cheer themselves up
after a hard day.
"Resilient children know how to cope and have developed
skills that enable them to flex so they can manage life's
blows when they happen without them getting too down,
stuck on ways that aren't helping or giving up,"
