Hi everyone,
Take a look at these videos from Angela Lee Duckworth. I'm sure you will find them interesting and get you to think about how to develop Grit with your child.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is Grit?
Grit is defined as “perseverance and passion for long-term goals.”Leaving a high-flying job in consulting, Angela Lee Duckworth took a job teaching math to seventh graders in a New York public school. She quickly realized that IQ wasn’t the only thing separating the successful students from those who struggled. Here, she explains her theory of “grit” as a predictor of success.
Hi Peter,
ReplyDeleteplease note this is great way to keep us informed, just joined today and new to the club. Using technology this way to spend time with our children on the topic above is very valuable addition and very much appreciated. Thank you very much!
