Perseverance for kids can be a tricky thing for parents to teach. It’s easy to want to bail them out when things get tough. Whether your child is saving up for a big purchase and has a lot of lawns yet to mow or she’s struggling to memorize her multiplication facts, perseverance is something that if taught now, will serve kids well into the future.
Perseverance for kids is something parents have to constantly stay on top of. iMOM’s Good Character Traits printable is a good starting point. We’ve designed a calendar to help you focus on a different trait each month, but if your child needs an extra focus on perseverance, this printable can be used at any time of the year. It includes a definition you can cut out and hang on the fridge or the mirror in your child’s bathroom (or both). There’s also a Bible verse to offer direction and encouragement.
Part of teaching perseverance for kids is having discussions about the trait and how it relates to life, so we’ve included a conversation starter question to dig deeper. It’s guaranteed to help your child think differently about perseverance. We’re so confident that these tools along with our calendar and its accompanying stickers will lead to great things for your child that the printable page includes a reward certificate with space for you to write how you saw your child showing perseverance. If you really want to reinforce the lesson, you can print a handful and give a certificate to your child weekly. And because we know kids love rewards, each Good Character Trait printable comes with a coupon to give your child. Use our reward, or come up with one of your own that you know will be a big incentive. Teaching perseverance for kids is worth the hard work you’re going to put in.
