This week Lissi and Joy are discussing the phrase, “We can do hard things.” and all of our feelings relating to that phrase.

We talk about when it is useful and fair to use this phrase to motivate ourselves or our kids to put in extra effort to a task that we find daunting or hard.

We also dive into how this phrase can be misused with groups of kids of varying abilities and capabilities, and why that can be problematic.

Join us in this discussion and let us know, how do you feel about this phrase? Do you love it, hate it, neutral on it? Do you use it to motivate yourself or your kids?

We would love to hear all of your thoughts. Please leave us a comment and tell us everything! Thanks for listening!
