Meet Lyndsay, one of the GRITizens featured in Haze’s book, who has inspired as well as intrigued many parents with her quote:
“I want to know and grow my GRIT so I can show it to my children and be an example of someone who co-creates his or her destiny.”
Lyndsay believes that the most valuable curriculum for her boys would be mind-management and that starts with knowing your GRIT (i.e., your default setting in the face of obstacles). Since this isn’t happening consistently in elementary schools, Lyndsay has taken it upon herself to model for her sons how she navigates day-to-day obstacles from her GRIT.
As a dad with a daughter, Peter shares his struggles and successes on his journey from being the old-fashioned father who was dedicated to giving directives toward being the dad who is dedicated to de-escalation on all sides. By the end of this episode, you’ll agree that sowing your GRIT is an important investment in the next generation!
Note: Haze’s book is called “Know, Grow and Show Your GRIT! Self-Discovery Made Simple”
