FROM MRS. MUNSON

            A great topic to discuss as a family is: “Perseverance: I keep trying and I will never give up”. This life skill is a major indicator of future success in meeting our short term and long term goals. It does not always come naturally, but the good news is that we can develop it. Talk with your child about goals you have set or situations you have been in where you had to persevere. Here are some ways we can help develop children’s perseverance: https://www.brighthorizons.com/resources/Article/encouraging-grit-and-teaching-perseverance-to-children
