What do you do when your kid wants to quit… or worse, won’t even start?In this episode, we’re talking about how to raise a kid who doesn’t give up—and how to be a parent who doesn’t give up either. Because perseverance isn’t just about pushing through big challenges… it shows up in homework battles, missed goals, frustration, and all those everyday moments where quitting feels easier.We break down what research says about growth mindset, grit, and why effort matters more than talent—and then we make it real with stories from our own kids (including the moments we wanted to step in and just do it for them).You’ll walk away with simple, practical tools you can use right away: How to shift your child from “I can’t” to “I can’t yet”  Why struggle actually builds confidence (and protects against risky behaviors)  What to say instead of “you’re so smart”  How to help your kid set goals they’ll actually follow through on  Easy ways to build perseverance into your family culture This one is about raising finishers—not perfect kids, but kids who keep going.
