Synopsis

Buoyancy – it’s an interesting word that relates to floating. It’s the quality that helps things stay above the waterline, whether it is an ocean-going super-tanker or a child holding its breath to stay afloat. Human buoyancy is like it. Stress, pressure, adversity, and life-challenges can cause people to feel disconnected, distraught, or ‘down’. Psychological buoyancy is the quality that helps people to stay ‘up’. In his groundbreaking curricular lesson plans, Dr. Kirk Austin explores seven elements that contribute to human buoyancy. Using the acronym BREATHE, Buoyancy: Building Resilient Kids - Lesson Plans explores the concepts of Bravery, Resilience, Endurance, Acceptance, Tenacity, Hope, and Excellence.Written for parents, adult-helpers and educators, Buoyancy: Building Resilient Kids - Lesson Plans, explores how to help kids build the skills related to human flourishing. Lesson Plans examines seven stories of real people who exemplified an element of BREATHE. It goes further in providing curricular examples and exercises to build the skills necessary to stay buoyant. It is a helpful and practical addition to any social and emotional learning curriculum. This resource is recommended for grades 3-6.
