    Perseverance - The ability to overcome obstacles and failures in pursuit of a long-term goal. Also referred to as GRIT. If your child is passionate about something, whether it's academics, sports, or a hobby, and he continues to work hard at it after experiencing setbacks and failures, chances are he's showing some perseverance already.

    1. Staying with the task and not giving up

    2. Showing commitment, pride, and a positive attitude in completing tasks

    3. Trying again and again

    4. Being patient and willing to work hard
