Attitude is one of the most important things that any kid needs to know about, especially if you want to succeed in life.

Talking Points:

  • Your attitude is the one thing you can alway control. All through life you have good and bad things happen to you, and you can’t control them. However, you can control your attitude when those things happen.
  • Good attitudes are a habit. Hardly anyone is born with a good attitude, although some kids have an easier time than others. But every adult who has a good attitude had to develop that through lots of practice, just like any habit.
  • The attitude you develop as a kid will follow you through life. That means it’s important to work on right now, every day.
