One of the best ways to help your teens see the value in consistent and disciplined action is to celebrate the small victories on the way toward the larger goal.
Oftentimes, when they hit a bump in the road, they can easily go to a place of self loathing and convince themselves that they cannot do it.
When they understand that taking action consistently on a goal will eventually lead them to success, it is much easier for them to practice resiliency and power through.
Celebrating the wins along the way, no matter how small, keeps them in the game and offers small bursts of motivation to see them to the finish line.
