The Grit Guide for Teens will help teens build perseverance, resilience, self-control, and stamina.

The term “grit” embodies all the characteristics that help people accomplish the things they want, such as self-control, tenacity, and the ability to fail well.

Using the skills outlined in this book, teens develop both grit and a growth mind-set—a way of thinking that focuses on improvement and hard work in order to achieve any goal they might set. Studies show that grit isn’t something you have to be born with—it can be taught and learned!

As a teen, setting and reaching goals is an important part of growing up. Whether doing well in school, getting into a good college, making friends, excelling in sports, or mastering the fine arts or music—teens need to persevere in order to succeed. They have probably heard the term “grit” at school or from your parents, but what does it really mean?

Made popular by Angela Duckworth in her New York Times bestseller, the term “grit,” embodies all the characteristics that help people accomplish the things they want, such as self-control, tenacity, and the ability to fail well. Using the skills outlined in this book, the teen will develop both grit and a growth mind-set—a way of thinking that focuses on improvement and hard work in order to achieve any goal you set for yourself. They will learn how to make grit an everyday habit, turn disappointments into opportunities, embrace challenges, manage stress, and be the very best version of you that they can be.

Studies show that grit isn’t something to be born with—it can be taught and learned! This book will give the teen everything they need to get gritty, open their mind to all life’s possibilities, and succeed in everything they do.

“Caren Baruch-Feldman has synthesized a masterful workbook that will prepare young people to thrive in both good and challenging times. There are so many books written for adults on how to shape teens. Finally, here is one written for youth in a respectful, understandable, actionable tone that inherently recognizes young people as experts in their own lives who will take the reins when offered the tools to become their best selves. Bravo.”
