Publisher's Synopsis
A fun and engaging workbook to help kids ages 6-12 build resilience, perseverance, and a growth mindset
As a parent, you want to give your child a solid foundation for living a happy, successful life. But if you have a child who is easily sidelined by obstacles, has trouble bouncing back from setbacks, who melts down easily, or gives up quickly when things get tough-you may worry about their ability to succeed in our competitive, high-pressure world. So, how can you help your child develop grit-a trait that embodies tenacity and self-control?
Fortunately, grit can be learned. Written in a kid-friendly tone and grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), The Grit Workbook for Kids offers a unique approach for learning and practicing the tools, strategies, and skills that make up grit. These activities will help your child:
- Build stamina
- Keep perspective
- Be optimistic
- Solve problems
- Cope with change
- Practice mental flexibility
- Stick up for themselves
- Build good relationships
- And much, much more!
Grit is key to helping kids succeed in what they want or need to do-whether that's getting good grades, making the sports team, or just building an awesome treehouse. By practicing the skills and activities outlined in this accessible workbook-whether on their own or with you-your child will gain powerful tools to help them thrive, well into adulthood.
