ITL070 : How to Teach Children to Overcome Adversity

Listen Later

On today’s podcast, Andy and A.T. discuss how to teach children to persevere through difficulties and struggles.

 

Listener question: How do you influence your boys in a positive way in regard to what they want to be when they grow up?

  • It’s important to connect what someone wants to do with the things they have to do to get there.
  • You want to encourage while also keeping in mind that their mind can easily change, especially when they are younger.

    •  

    Whatever your children are trying to do or learn, you have to encourage them to stay in the hard places.

    • You gain ground when you keep going through the hard places.
    • Even adults tend to stop trying when things get hard.
    • We remain comfortable only with the things that come easy.

      •  

      We need to change the culture surrounding childhood education in our country.

      • Cultures that have better results in education have better results because of the way they think.
      • Our culture does not think there is honor in struggling, which causes us to avoid struggling through difficulties.
