What is the difference between a child that has set goals and achieved them compared to one who has given up because it was too hard or they jumped from activity to activity with no commitment? Confidence and discipline! This kiddo can do what they learned to do well. They also know they have the ability to learn and accomplish other things in life.
As children begin apply for jobs and higher education, think of the trust potential employers and educators will have based on the credibility shown in sticking with a task and being dedicated. Even if what is being applied for doesn’t directly relate to currently developed talents or skills, employers will recognize the desire and ability to develop skills. Capabilities are trust builders and can have a dramatic, positive impact throughout life.
Don’t let your kids quit! Overcoming challenges makes them stronger and sets them up for future success.
