"Resilience is the power to balance my heart!" From the meaning and necessity of resilience to methods for managing sensitivity A guide to emotional growth for children, packed with the essence of social-emotional learning There is great interest in social-emotional learning. The Ministry of Education and various education offices recognize the importance of social-emotional learning and are working hard to introduce it fully into schools. Many teachers and caregivers also agree that developing sufficient social skills and emotional strength leads to better school life and improved academic performance. There are teachers who have been researching and practicing this social-emotional learning early on. Under the leadership of Kim Hyun-su, a psychiatrist and principal of 'Growth School Byeol,' the 'Teacher Group Researching the Psychology of Relationships' (Gwansim-dan) established a 'Social-Emotional Learning Research Group' in 2022 to study social-emotional learning and consistently practice it in schools and classrooms. The 'Self-Practicing Social-Emotional Learning' series being published this time is the fruit of that long research and practice. Elementary school teacher Choi Wa-ni, who has been active in 'Gwansim-dan' for a long time, wrote the first volume of this series, "If You Become Sensitive to Small Things? Building Resilience." Resilience is not about becoming insensitive to everything, but rather the power to control sensitivity so you don't get swayed by small stimuli or words and can protect your heart. The author helps readers easily understand resilience through the vivid stories of Min-jae and Ji-yoon, who keep becoming sensitive in various situations. By learning social-emotional skills together with these two friends, you can discover what resilience is, when resilience is needed, and how to develop resilience. And by practicing activities that build resilience on your own, you can learn the power to balance your heart and live your daily life with more composure and strength.
