Friendships across oceans, turning weaknesses into strengths, and finding your place in a new place. Check out these 8 Books About Perseverance for Kids on Nooksy
Life is filled with doing hard things. For little ones, it could be anything from learning to tie their shoelaces, to navigating the monkey bars at their local jungle gym. It’s hard learning how to ride a bike, or play an instrument, it’s even hard to learn to read (at first).
But life is filled with doing hard things. And these hard things provide kids with an important opportunity to develop perseverance - the ability to never give up, even when things are hard.
When a child learns to develop perseverance it helps them grow in courage and determination (and yes, even confidence). The ability to keep on going until they succeed, is how perseverance is forged - and the look on their little faces once they’ve been able to overcome that hard thing (something they probably thought was never possible) is absolutely priceless.
