Designed to reach young children under the age of eight years, Reaching IN...Reaching OUTᴼᴹ (RIRO) Resiliency Skills Training Programme works by laying a strong foundation of thinking and coping skills that support resilience in the adults who care for and work with them. RIRO teaches "3Rs of Resilience"– skills to help Relax, Reflect and Respond effectively to life's challenges.

 The resiliency skills help adults and children develop several critical abilities associated with resilience:

• being in charge of our emotions

• controlling our impulses 

• analyzing the cause of problems 

• empathizing with others 

• believing in our competence 

• maintaining realistic optimism 

• reaching out to others and opportunities.

RIRO Resiliency Skills Training Programme gives child care and early learning staff and service providers skills and theory to support a relationship-based reflective practice and provides a framework for creating a "culture of resilience" in programmes serving young children.
