Ways to Help Your Kids Be Diligent
Camp Kupugani is our overnight Midwest summer camp that welcomes children ages 7-15 from all walks of life. We challenge our campers daily to step out of their comfort zones and try new things and being diligent about it. Some character traits are being perseverant and diligent that we try to help instill. We found a recent article on that very topic by Greater Good Magazine here; you can check out our summary below.
- Perseverance is a skill all people need
- Connects to better school achievement

- Women cite perseverance as a key to work success
- Use characters children connect with that have persevered to be an example
- Competence and strength in a character is important
- Pretend to be a heroic character
- Use daily chores to build perseverance
- Use props from their fave character
- Ask them how their character would do the chore
