Life can be tough, and so can living with food allergies. Kids with food allergies need resilience (the ability to bounce back in the face of adversity). This resilience kit will help your child develop a growth mindset. When children have a growth mindset they can look at bad situations and see how to overcome them, they can see how they can learn from mistakes, and they can see the good in themselves.
FAACT's professionally developed "My Food Allergy Resilience Kit" for PreK through Grade 8 contains instruction on resilience building activities, bright and cheery downloads, affirmation cut outs, emotional check-in worksheets, resiliency charts, and more!
This kit will help your children:
Develop a growth mindset
Learn how to overcome setbacks
See the good in themselves
Become more flexible
Deepen their sense of identity
Building resilience takes flexibility and knowing your identity, which different items in this kit will help them grow. Remember, resiliency also comes from relationships, so you as a parent are a part of this, too! While making this kit with your child, reiterate that you believe in them and love them no matter what…and for exactly who they are!
