What is resilience?

Resilience is when you bounce back after something tough happens, just like a rubber band snaps back to its shape after you stretch it.

Imagine you're playing with a bouncy ball. You throw it on the ground, and it plops down, but then it bounces right back up! That’s resilience. Even though it got knocked down, it didn’t stay there, it came right back to you.

Now think of a tree in a storm. The wind is strong, the rain is hard, and the tree sways. But when the storm is over, the tree still stands tall. It might have bent a little, but it didn’t break. That’s resilience too, being strong even after things get rough.

Resilience doesn’t mean you never fall down. It means you keep going, just like the ball keeps bouncing and the tree keeps standing. You can be resilient by learning from your mistakes and trying again.
