Last summer, the two-year-old son of a Ninja Parenting Community member was in a car accident. Thankfully no one was injured. But the car was totaled.

And this little boy kept asking the same question, over and over:
"Why did Daddy crash Daddy's car?" The accident was not Daddy's fault. But you couldn't convince the boy of that!

Everyone just wanted to move on.

But this little boy struggled to do that.

Maybe your child hasn't recently been in a car accident, and so this isn't the question that keeps getting asked.

But I bet, if you've got a toddler or preschooler, or even an elementary school kid, you know this phenomenon very well.

Today: what to do about it, when your child asks the same question again and again!

  • A cheat sheet on how to handle it when your child keeps asking the same question over and over, and it's driving you nuts
  • Key links from today's episode
  • The video of the week: Off this week, returning March 28

But today's episode gets into a concept that is really key.
It's a mindset shift that parents need to make, if only to show our kids what is possible.

Yup: we've finally come to the topic of Grit.

Listen in to find out why it's important and how you can make sure your children have it!
