Today’s Practice:

This quote invites you to help your child put Dr. Duckworth’s work on what she calls “grit” into action. Grit is defined as the combination of passion and determination, and is most significant when things don’t always go as planned. Share times in your life when you were disappointed or let down, and how that didn’t stop you but made you more determined than ever to reach your goals.
