Get'er done with GRIT


Gift or grit, curiosity help kids succeed

 

If you want success, built character and the rest will follow.” Says Jerry Lange

Building character to help overcome failure. Too much adversity is bad and so is too little. Which does no allow a child to built grit. This was the example of the students @ Welton. The kids had not been overcoming adversity or too little, Mr. Keaton knew and was trying to show this to his kids, to find their GRIT, suck the GRIT out of life, to yelp out grit.

Grit is about self-control, zest, social intelligence, gratitude, optimism, and curiosity. Also if more parents hug and kiss and coo in the first years, we have lot more happy and successful children. But this has to be to a certain age, parents can get out of control and raise a more of a mamas boys that becomes dependent on her new independent.

Grit does help turn boys into young men.  You cannot shield them from grit.
