Boston Children’s Museum Lunch & Learn, Dr. Robert Brooks

On being resilient

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSdwAYIGbWk

Listen to Dr Robert Brooks as he talks about the key ingredients students need in order to be resilient:

1. Connection. The need to belong,feel welcome & connected

2. Control. The need for self-determination & autonomy

3. Contribution. Making a difference in the lives of others 

4. Competence. Areas of strength

We can do so much in our work in libraries to give students opportunities to find these four Cs. Think about your library page program, or how we encourage kids to pick books, or setting up buddy reading, or the many other options we provide.
