Here are the 7 things to teach your kids about overcoming failure

Here are the 7 things to teach your kids about overcoming failure:
?1. Not Everybody Gets A Trophy:
Somewhere along the line we became a society that preached instant gratification. Like a giant carnival, our slogan became “everybody wins all the time.” We know it’s not true. It’s also a terrible example to set. Losing is every bit as important in human growth as winning. Rewarding your child for doing nothing will teach him just that. Nothing. ?2. Everyone Has Different Talents:
There are just some things we aren’t cut out for. It’s best to learn that at an early age. The good news is that they are a champion at something. Guide them towards where their gifts lie.
?3. Have Class:
What is one of the most flattering descriptions a person can hear? “He sure has a lot of class.” “She sure was a great sport about it.” Are you teaching your children how to fail with dignity? How a person accepts failure is an easy indicator of the character within. It also almost guarantees future success. Respect is gained outwardly and inwardly. ?4. Learning From Mistakes:
Mistakes humble. They can hurt. Yet without them, we are stagnant. Every mistake we make is an educational experience. Every success is built upon a foundation of errors and corrections.
?5. Teaching Others:
When we fail, we gain experience. It’s important to share that knowledge. Use it to mentor others experiencing similar difficulties. Instill in your children the responsibility to share their mistakes in hopes to save another from making the same.
?6. Leave It All On The Field:
Boxing legend Joe Frazier once said, “If I lose, I’ll walk away and never feel bad because I did all I could. There was nothing more to do.” The most common phrase in sports has to be “leave it all on the field!” Explain to your kids to never cheat themselves on effort and they will always gain from it. No matter the outcome.
?7. Perseverance:
Determination wins many victories. We should not allow our children to give up on themselves. Help him pick himself back up and try again. Perseverance will lead to positive results and a lifelong lesson never to be forgotten. ⚡️ @fighsportsmiami @fightsportskids
