“Our daughter gives up very easily.It worries us.

“Our daughter gives up very easily.
It worries us.
How will she succeed if she does not learn how to persist?” 

The very successful parents of an eight-year-old told me at a consultation the other day. 

Yes. It is worrying. 

The world is full of brilliant and talented people who could have achieved extraordinary things – if only they had not given up. 

And watching our children go the same way is terrifying. 

So why do children give up? 

They give up because they cannot endure the pain of failure. 

And failure is inevitable no matter what you do. 

In fact – while success is never guaranteed – whenever you try something – failure certainly is. 

So how can we help children to welcome failure? 

Children welcome failure – when FAILURE feels like FUN. 

Is it possible for failure to feel like fun? 

Yes, it is. 

Failure feels like fun when you are PLAYING and not WORKING. 

But how can work be turned into play. 

Work becomes play when you get on to your child’s team. 

A team multiplies the joys of small wins and divides the sorrows of failure – keeping your child motivated. 

But being a team player is not easy when the other team member is a teen. 

It is important to understand their “WHY?” 

And the why cannot be the same as our why – because their brain is still growing.
1.     It does not have certain parts.
2.     It runs on different neurotransmitters.
3.     It is built by nature for the world of tomorrow. 

Today I am teaching an enthusiastic group of parents with children in the 8 – 18 years age group – how to apply neuroscience to be an effective parent to a teen (or preteen).
