It's been a week, friends. Between sore thighs, sneezing workouts, and rocket-fuel sinus drops (yes, really), Patti and Meghan are back to tackle a big one: raising kids who don't quit.
In a world where "I'm bored" turns into "I quit" in five seconds flat, how do we help our kids develop grit? The girls dig into why kids are struggling with resilience, how parents accidentally enable it, and what we can do to help kids—and ourselves—get a little tougher.
You'll laugh, nod, and maybe even rethink your approach to soccer season and school projects.
What's inside this episode:
Why "don't quit on your worst day" still matters.
The difference between quitting and redirecting.
Why kids today are overwhelmed but mastering nothing.
The "three days, three weeks, three months" rule of perseverance.
What's really going on in your child's class (and how to talk to teachers without losing your cool).
How to model resilience (even when your thighs hurt and the toilet seat's up again).
Bonus: potty-training hacks involving Cheerios. You're welcome.
👉 Listen now for a laugh, a little truth, and a reminder that you're doing better than you think.
