So, this got me pondering how do we teach it to kids? Do you
model it? Do you simply just encourage your kids? Do you merely
support them? Do you push them? What do you do when they falter?
What do you do when they fail? What do you do when life gets
tough? What do you say to help them get back up again and try
again? Just ‘Pause to Ponder’ for a moment.

How would you describe your grit? What are your children learning
from you about perseverance and tenacity?

OK, this is not about berating yourself but about becoming more self-
aware, so if you don’t like what you discover don’t beat yourself up,
just decide right now to make a small change that will make a big
difference over time to your kid’s attitude
to life.
When we help young people cultivate an approach to life that views
obstacles as a critical part of success, we help them develop
resilience.
If you are interested in building character qualities in your kids
that will help them thrive, not just achieve then this eBook is
for YOU!

Resilience can be learned like any other skill. It takes practice and patience.
