How my grandpa Roger taught be to be resilient

My grandfather Roger always said that the true measure of character is found not in comfort, but in the face of challenge.  In this episode, I share my story of a day I called my grandpa pretending to be sick when I was in high school. This story is a reminder that we need to place our children in uncomfortable situations to help them work on their inner dialogue and motivation. It also reminds, the parents, that we need to do the same. I hope you enjoy my story about my grandpa Roger, he was the world to me and taught me so much! Ready to start working on yourself?
