We live in a world where we give too much importance to intelligence and academic achievements. For most parents, the ultimate goal is to raise a smart kid who can get a high-paying job and live a comfortable life. However, little do they know that smartness is not the only factor that determines success in life.

In this episode, we are going to introduce the concept of grit and resilience and discuss why they are crucial for your child's success. Grit is defined as the combination of passion and perseverance that enables a person to achieve their long-term goals, while resilience is the ability to recover from setbacks, failures, and adversity.

We will also debunk the myth that calling your child smart is beneficial for their self-esteem and confidence. Research shows that praising intelligence can be harmful to your child's development, as it creates a fixed mindset that undermines their willingness to take risks and embrace challenges.

Instead, we will give you practical tips on how to praise your child's effort, progress, and growth mindset. We will also discuss the importance of failure and how you can help your child develop a growth mindset that views mistakes as opportunities for learning and improvement.

So, if you want to raise a kid who can handle the challenges of the real world, tune in to this episode of Sean Speaks. We promise it will be edgy, eye-opening, and thought-provoking. Let's raise a generation of gritty, resilient, and innovative leaders who can change the world.
