One of the most important things we can do, as parents, is instil the values of hard work into our children. This is a mindset that will help them accomplish great things, and makes them more independent and self-sufficient as they go throughout their lives. These values will help them become good at many things, because they will know what they can accomplish, if they put their mind to it.
It can be challenging for parents to find effective ways to get their children to develop this mindset due to society ills. Parents can inculcate the spirit of hard work into their children by;
• Letting them make their own mistakes so that they can learn from them
• Making your children to set challenging but accomplishable goals
• Drawing them to role models who have achieved success by hard work. They need to know that these models failed at one time before achieving huge success.
• Letting them assist in carrying out house chores. Children need to experience this kind of work, when they are younger, as it is important to be able to have the endurance to follow through on tasks like this when they are older.
Some of quotes about hard work are;

“The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.” – H. Jackson Brown
“Do the best you can in every task, no matter how unimportant it may seem at the time.”– Sandra Day O’Connor
