Goals?! My how they have changed! At the beginning of 2020 most of us had a completely different way of thinking and planning how the year would unfold. Surprise! Life happens....we need to redirect our thoughts, to redirect our goals to fit into a completely different realm on so many levels. None the less, we keep on keepin on, we never give up and we persevere, just like my good friend Do'er Duck!
As an adult, we learn how to adjust, how to cope with what life throws our way, but, how does a child learn to persevere and to keep on trying? Like the little engine that could....here at Characters of Character we've got some ideas for you to implement into your own home and teach your children what it means to persevere, what it looks like to persevere and what it feels like to persevere.
Here are some thoughts to help teach a child perseverance through Do’er Duck who teaches our children to ‘NEVER GIVE UP”
1. Be patient
2. Be an encouragement
3. Introduce small challenges to that they, extending their comfort zone
4. Share a story of yourself during a time that you persevered
5. Take a break if you must, but, do not quit

Through
perseverance a child will internalize the feeling of accomplishment and
perhaps look forward to the next challenge in life knowing that they
will give it a try. Teaching our children these vital core values shapes
them into their own character and helps them to gain a deeper awareness
to develop these positive character traits.
We have made some fun videos to help teach and reinforce Do'er Duck and perseverance in your own home:
