Thank you for sharing! Today was breaking camp, and I stole your highlights and hardships phrases (I have a thing for alliteration) to remind my kids to acknowledge the negatives but focus on the positives. From then on, I got them to unpack the word “resilient”. What qualities does it actually refer to? After dragging some responses out of their tired minds, I was able to establish that being resilient means being positive, proactive and determined.

We then learnt how to tie a paracord from the instructors. Everyone, including me, really struggled with the task at first. But many of the kids got it sooner than me and were able to finish tying their paracord. Some of them even taught me. Glad to see how the teacher now becomes the student
