Do not be frightened or discouraged\, for Adonai your God is with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:9) Courage doesn’t mean you’re never afraid. It is finding the strength to continue on the journey of learning who you are and what is right for you\, even when you’re uncertain or scared. 								\n				\n					\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n		\n					\n				\n				\n									Building Skills and Character: Perseverance and Grit								\n				\n				\n				\n									Discuss the ways in which quitting can impact your teen grandchild’s development.  								\n				\n					\n				\n					\n				\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n									Talk about it. 								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n									Grandparent: \n\nWhy do you think you want to quit?

Would you make the same decision today?\n\nTeen grandchild: \n\nWhat is something that was difficult for you when you were my age?\nWhen did sticking with something\, even after you wanted to give up\, pay off?\nWas there ever a time when quitting was the right decision? How did you know?\nWhat did you learn about yourself in the process of either quitting or sticking to something?\n								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n									Brainstorm possible “mensch moves.”								\n				\n				\n				\n									For example: Stay in theater for another production to continue growing.Talk with the director about ways to build your skills to become a lead in the future.Find another way to pursue acting.Decide that it’s time to try something new.								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n									Erica N.
