This Health & Wellness resilience template eyfs core is fully aligned with the Common Core State Standards for Personal, Social, and Emotional Development. It supports the prime area of Managing Self by encouraging children to persist with tasks that challenge them. Teachers can use this resource during circle time, small group interventions, or as a calming activity for children who may be feeling frustrated.

Designed specifically for learners working at the expected standard, this Health & Wellness resilience template eyfs core provides a structured yet flexible approach to emotional literacy.
