Grit, Perseverance, Your Child, and Texarkana Martial Arts.

Psychologist Angela Lee’s primary research has been into looking at why some people succeed in areas whereas others, often more gifted people fail.

This is a great video that talks about grit and mindset.

It’s something that is very valuable in ourselves.

Now more than ever it’s critically important in our kids.

Kids have to be able to face adversity, see it as an event (not a final outcome), and grow from the set back.

It’s so important that they do not hit an obstacle and quit. As this happens over and over again, they make it a habit.

They will learn that they can achieve more than they thought possible. They’ll be pushed.

Sometimes it’s a challenge, but overcoming that challenge gives your child indisputable proof that they can succeed.

This develops confidence, a growth mindset, and grit – the ability to persevere in the face of obstacles.
