Bouncing back, learning from mistakes, persisting through frustration, and keeping setbacks from defining them — resilience in action.
After losing a game or doing badly at something, my child calms down within a reasonable time.
After something goes wrong, my child can say what they would do differently next time.
My child keeps trying at hard things (a tricky level, a difficult skill) instead of quitting at the first frustration.
When my child fails at something, they blame the attempt or the strategy ("that didn't work") rather than themselves ("I'm stupid").
My child can laugh off small mistakes rather than dwelling on them.
My child admits their own part in what went wrong, rather than only blaming others or circumstances.
My child finishes difficult tasks they have started, even when the excitement has worn off.
One bad result (a poor mark, a lost match) doesn't make my child want to give up on that activity altogether.
A disappointment in one part of the day doesn't ruin my child's whole day.
My child actually applies lessons from past mistakes — I can see them doing it differently the next time.
My child sometimes chooses the harder option (a tougher opponent, a harder piece, a bigger challenge) on purpose.
After a failure, my child is willing to ask for help or feedback rather than hiding the result.
