He explores what grit means and discusses the true meaning of "practice makes perfect" and also its opposite, what happens when one practices imperfectly. Kolby concludes with some practical advice to apply habit training in the classroom through three steps: clarify your expectations, cast vision for the worthiness of the work, and support them throughout.

In today's episode, Kolby takes wisdom from a recent book he read, The Coddling of the American Mind, by Lukianoff and Haidt, and challenges us as parents and educations on how to overcome the three great untruths of our society today: what doesn't kill you, makes you weaker, always trust your feelings, and life is a battle of us versus them. Kolby finds passages in the Bible that strengthen the argument that we need to train our children to be challenged in order to become resilient. Music: https://www.bensound.com/royalty-free-music
