Perseverance

Knowing whether it is hard or whether it is wrong.

There is a difference between something being hard and something being wrong, and a kid cannot always tell which one they are feeling.

Quitting a bad afternoon and quitting a business look identical from across the room. One of them needs food, a break, and a next step small enough to feel possible. The other needs permission to end well, out loud, with the customers told.

What is worth protecting is not this particular business. It is your kid's willingness to start the next one.
