Perseverance means keep trying, even when something feels hard. When we persevere, we don’t give up. We take a deep breath, try again, and learn from our mistakes.
When something is tough, here are some steps you can try:
Pause and breathe. Calm your body and mind.
Use positive self-talk. Tell yourself, “I can do hard things!”
Try a different way. There is more than one way to solve a problem.
Ask for help. Friends, teachers, and family can support you.
Take a short break if needed. Then come back and keep trying.
Celebrate small successes. Every little step shows you’re getting better!
Challenges help us grow stronger, braver, and prouder of what we can do. When we persevere, we show just how amazing we are!
