Help Your Kids Develop Grit!
As a parent, you want to give your child a solid foundation for living a happy, successful life. But if you have a child who is easily sidelined by obstacles, has trouble bouncing back from setbacks, who melts down easily, or gives up quickly when things get tough—you may worry about their ability to succeed in our competitive, high-pressure world. So, how can you help your child develop grit—a trait that embodies tenacity and self-control?
Fortunately, grit can be learned.
“The Grit Workbook for Kids is an important resource for parents, caregivers, teachers, therapists, medical providers—and anyone else who interacts with kids.”
