How can I evaluate if a student is lacking resilient characteristics?Students demonstrate several traits that can be linked to a lack of resiliency. Students who have difficulty making friends, seem withdrawn, need constant motivation, lack self-controls, tend to lose their temper easily, appear to be depressed or do not have a strong self perception may fit this category. It should not be assumed that students with these characteristics are not resilient. Interacting with the student on a daily basis will give the opportunity to access each student on a daily basis and intervene as needed.
