Resilience is about how capable a strained body is to recover its shape and size after deformation.

Deformation is caused by compressive stress. In this article, we shall compare resilience to kids.

I know this is weird but it does truly have a deep connection if we think of it in a practical aspect.

When a child learns how to fix something after messing it up, they are halfway there.

To build resilience in your kids and teenagers, there are certain things parents and teachers must follow.

Of course, we can not list everything but we can mention a few important things which can not be ignored.

Children’s problems include adapting to a new classroom, bullying by classmates, or abuse at home, but resilience is the ability to thrive despite these challenges. Some of the ways are as follows -

• Make a learning schedule for your child and make sure they follow their daily routine

• Self-care should be taught to the child so that they can take care of themselves and be aware of their surroundings and the situations they get into.

• Make sure your child moves towards their goal irrespective of what obstacle they face.

• Even when your child is facing very painful events, help them look at the situation in a positive aspect, and keep a long-term perspective so that they do not lose hope.

• Teach your kids how to be helpful to the ones in need.

Teach them how not to be selfish and how to always be selfless.

You may learn many other things related to resilience in this article.

1-1.The Importance of Teaching Value and How to Develop Children's Resilience

Well, kids need to learn morals and values right from when they are kids.

Few of the below points will make you believe and understand as to why is it so: Many parents do not pay attention to their kids and hence those kids learn morals and values from tv shows and online videos which are not even appropriate for their age.

Children must learn ethics, morals, and values from their parents.

This will be long term and more effective.

It builds their character - When a child knows good moral values such as kindness, humility, compassion, and courage at an early age builds a child’s character.

It forms the base of their being and becomes a foundation of what they believe.

Hence it is necessary to start teaching them moral values while they are still children.

Those values shape them to become the person you want them to be short Never think of yourself first and always think about others- When a child thinks out of the box, they realize that the world is big and not everything revolves around them.

Other people exist too and thinking about others before yourself is a good habit and it just adds 'grade' to your personality.

They realize that they have a duty to their fellow mates.

Being selfless and not selfish is something a child should learn and practice.

A child will never forget what is once taught to them - If you show the path of success to the child and show them what is good for them, they will always adhere to what you say and will never go on the wrong path It also helps to dodge peer pressure - As a child grows, they come across people who may influence them to do wrong things.

1-2.How Can Parents Develop Children's Resilience With the Abacus?

Resilience and values should be taught to the child whilst learning an amazing tool known as an abacus.

This is because abacus helps improve math along with mental math and just like how we struggle with math and then eventually get better at it in the same way resilience helps us get back to normal after having a rough time.

As abacus mainly focuses on shaping our academic performance, resilience and moral values focus on our personality and our self.

Even if you are not good at math, the qualities you hold like your values and morals will be shining bright.

Although learning both of them together will boost your performance in every field in and out.
 

1-3. How to Develop Children's Resilience and Why It's So Important for Parents to Do It Now

The human brain develops from the age of 4 to 14 years of age very prominently.

The brain needs exercise to function properly and accurately.

The brain is physically divided into two hemispheres, the left and right parts and both sections work together to perform activities like thinking, understanding, learning, and remembering.

The abacus helps in improving the way you think and concentrate as it helps in increasing visualizing power.

Daily abacus learning can make your brain function twice more than what it usually functions.

It eventually makes your mental math stronger and more accurate.

You can solve mathematical problems much easier and faster now.

Abacus learning not only helps the basic calculations like addition, multiplication, subtraction but it also helps in effective counting of decimal points, negative numbers.

Many people think of the abacus as a tool that is used to learn mathematics but there is a lot more advantage than what we thought it would be.
 

Overall  
Every child should be taught morals and values right from home and must be given proper care to the little details.

Parents should be bothered about their children right from their early development so that they are born and brought up in a disciplined and structured way.

Sure education is important but how you grow up and around what kind of people and atmosphere you grow up in does matter as that is what shapes your personality right from childhood.

Resilience as we understood in this article shows us how we must develop this due to its endless benefits.

The use of the abacus as we know is beneficial for our brain health and also boosts our academic growth.
