Building Grit in Kids: A Workshop for Parents

 

Helping your child develop grit — passion, perseverance, and resilience — is one of the greatest gifts you can give them. Built on the groundbreaking work of Angela Duckworth, Lee David Daniels, and Caren Baruch-Feldman, this workshop explores practical ways for parents to nurture grit and self-confidence in their children.

​

At The Poppet Centre, we believe that learning how to fail well, bounce back, and reach goals is essential to a successful, fulfilling life. This workshop provides parents with the tools and strategies to guide their children toward these valuable life skills.

​

What You'll Learn

​

The Building Grit in Kids workshop is structured around a model of philosophical enquiry, designed to help parents:

​

• Understand Grit and Its Components: Explore the 16 top steps to developing grit, including passion, willpower, and perseverance.

• Encourage Resilience: Teach your child how to embrace challenges, learn from failure, and bounce back stronger.

• Boost Self-Confidence: Help your child develop a strong sense of self-worth and belief in their ability to achieve their goals.

• Lay the Foundations for Success: Equip your child with the mindset and skills they need to thrive in school and life.

 

Who Is This Workshop For?

 

This program is open to parents of children of all ages. However, many of the examples and discussions are especially relevant to parents of primary school-aged kids, where foundational skills for resilience and confidence are often developed.

​

Why Focus on Grit?

​

Research shows that children with grit are more likely to overcome obstacles, maintain motivation, and achieve long-term goals. By fostering grit in your child, you:

​

• Prepare them for academic and personal success.

• Strengthen their emotional resilience to handle setbacks and adversity.

• Build their capacity for lifelong growth and development.

 

Flexible Workshop Options

​

Workshops are available both in-person and online, with sessions held across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Singapore, Hong Kong, and other locations in the Asia-Pacific region.
