Early childhood education, arts-based research and resilience

• Fostering children’s resilience during early childhood education is an important role of early childhood settings, home environments and the community. Resilience is described as how children can work with difficult situations to make the most of their lives. One way to help support the development of resilience is arts-based research. In this chapter, a particular focus is made on supporting refugee children and their families in early childhood settings. Arts-based research has been chosen as an important tool that children can engage with to express and learn about their emotional well-being. The chapter will examine important constructs that contribute to resilience in the early childhood phase of learning, especially when working with refugee children and their families. This includes consideration for the risk factors which might mean that children need extra help with developing resilience at certain points in their lives.
