Quotes to ponder:
“Mistakes and failures are some of the greatest teachers, if we frame them that way.”
“Don’t always step in and stop them before they have the chance to fail. Let your kids fail. And then coach them into understanding the lesson.”
“Grit doesn’t come naturally. It’s something you learn the hard way or the easy way… or not at all.”
