Note to parents and teachers: Here is a 20- to 30-minute 0–5 lesson plan on the value of persevering even when it’s difficult.

Watch “Try Again.”

Read “Keep Trying.”

Talk about things that your children needed to learn, which may have been difficult when they first started to learn, but now are easy to do (walking, talking, riding a bike, playing a game, etc.). Discuss what might’ve happened if your children had tried only once and found the task too difficult, so stopped trying.
