Teaching Grit and Resilience

The discussion emphasizes the importance of teaching grit and resilience, particularly to children. The speaker shares insights on how his young daughter struggles with perfectionism and hesitation when faced with difficult tasks. To combat this, he encourages her to view challenges as opportunities for growth by creating a 'you can do hard things' list that highlights her progress in overcoming difficulties like reading and learning to ride a bike. This approach reinforces the idea that persistence leads to improvement and that falling short initially is a natural part of the learning process.
