The end of the term is a great time to praise your children on all they have accomplished and recommit them to do even better next term. Achieving school success is tough for many children. It requires perseverance! In a lengthy study involving kids, this character trait was linked to adult success. People with perseverance:
- Know that hard work pays off.
- Refuse to quit easily.
- Figure out how to overcome challenges.
- Stop unsuccessful strategies – and try new ones.
You can encourage these qualities in your child. Talk about the benefits of determination. Look for examples of it in people’s lives, including your child’s. Discuss what would happen if people didn’t persevere. Support and compliment your children as they try hard.
