When a kite flies
Someone is there holding the string
When a kite flies
The kite finds a way to use its wings
When a kite flies
The tails keeps it pointed toward the sky
I fly like a kite flies
‘Cause I have the very same things
We have certainly been enjoying our wonderful Spring Days and recently sent invitations to our families to create a kite together or purchase one and spend a windy afternoon together. Spending time together and developing memories is an important ingredient of a resilient child. When a Kite Flies is a wonderful example of what we want a resilient child to say to himself.
Research shows that three internal protective factors are critical for building resilience in young children:
- Secure Attachment to early caregivers means that later children will see other adults such as teachers and authority figures as sources of hope and guidance.
- A sense of Initiative leads to a child intrinsically motivated to learn.
- The ability to Self-control the experience and expression of emotion leads to more friendships.
I fly like a kite flies
It’s all inside of me!
