Who are Grit Moms?
I am a Grit Mom and I know you are too! Gritmoms.com began as an online platform and community for parents to talk about ways they promote grit characteristics within our children. It has since evolved into a consulting, tutoring and community building organization. There is no silver bullet answer nor is there a one-size fits all approach to our work. Grit talent takes time and patience to develop. It requires continuous effort on both the children and the parents. Click on the main project links to see what interests you. They are:
Our Latest Project: Grit Academy Tutors and Consulting
It has been a challenging time for many of us. The school environment has changed due to COVID with children learning at home, online and moving back to the classroom setting. We have compiled a database of Grit moms who are current and former teachers available to tutor students online or in a safe way. We also conduct trainings/professional development on Grit, Resilience and Social Emotional Learning for educators. Please contact us to discuss your tutoring and/or consulting needs at kimboyer10@comcast.net
What do you do with your child’s stacks of hard earned school work? Can’t bring yourself to toss it? Keep their hard earned work and repurpose it into a Grit Book or custom stationary. Grit books and stationary are unique, one of a kind and remind kids of the work they accomplished. Contact us and follow an easy step-by-step process to order at kimboyer10@comcast.net
Learn how to convene a group of moms in a book club-style gathering while discussing grit. I provide you with a guidebook containing discussion questions on literature like Paul Tough’s How Children Succeed, fun activities that teach grit, and lists of children’s books with grit themes. All of the books lists and group ideas are meant to help cultivate grit qualities among your children and yourselves!
