Focusing on the Future: In today's class we watched Lilo & Stitch to describe Lilo's family dynamics, her strengths, and how she balanced her social life, family, and hobbies. Then, in our resilience handbooks answered, "What makes me great?"  Children will learn to recognize their strengths and superpowers, the importance of balancing all aspects of their life, and maintaining a healthy support system.
