Developing grit and perseverance as a child will help produce self-confident adults who can face challenges, overcome suffering and setbacks, and keep moving forward.

On this episode we talk about having a growth mindset for ourselves and our kids, being supportive AND having high expectations, being with our kids to teach them how to do hard things,


The Stat of the Week reviews various research studies about grit in students. And, we finish with a quote from Angela Duckworth's Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance [emphasis added].

"Regardless of gender, ethnicity, social class, or parents' marital status, teens with warm, respectful, and demanding parents earned higher grades in school, were more self-reliant, suffered from less anxiety and depression, and were less likely to engage in delinquent behavior."
