Abstract
FlexiŠerming is an innovative method aimed at cultivating resilience in children through playful engagement, grounded in the experiences of an educator and father of four. This approach utilizes a simple, adaptable game to develop resilience as a learnable and expandable skill, addressing contemporary challenges such as overprotection, ubiquitous technology, and increasing social and emotional detachment. FlexiŠerming involves a game that merges physical activity with the playful overcoming of challenges, thereby training children's physical and emotional resilience. The method is based on social learning theory principles, emphasizing the significance of imitation and role-playing in children's cognitive and emotional development, and fostering social interactions and empathy. FlexiŠerming is presented not just as a game but as a life lesson, easily integrated into both home and educational settings, offering an affordable, inclusive, and flexible way to bolster resilience in children, preparing them to face life's challenges with confidence and determination.
