Let's Get Gritty...
We are working hard to help our students build resiliency and to embrace the struggle in order to succeed. here are some tips to help raise gritty kids!
- Let your child try things that you think might be “too hard” for them. They will surprise you! "If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you."
- Make your child practice patience. Don't let them interrupt when adults are talking.
- Boredom breeds creativity. Do not always provide entertainment for them.
- Practice 'hard' things at home to teach hard work and responsibility. Assign them age-appropriate chores (making the bed, sweeping the floor, setting the table, doing laundry, washing dishes, etc.) and make them do their chores even when they don't want to.
- Say "NO". Do not give your child everything they want (toys, junk food, cell phones, etc.), even if “everyone else has it.”
- Be strong. Be patient. Resist the urge to swoop in and 'rescue' your child. They don't need it. Let them struggle with tasks.
- Do not give in when you have set a limit. "Say what you mean and mean what you say."
