Resilience is an important skill for children to develop, as it means they can
cope with the many challenges they will be faced with throughout life. It has
been found children develop their resilience through experiences rather than
through teaching and this makes Forest School sessions ideal for learning
building resilience skills. Sessions plans introduce risky elements such as the
gradual use of tools and fire when the children will benefit from them. This
seeks to bolster confidence and independence whilst maintaining ways to
remain safe both independently and for others.
