Dear Parent or Guardian:

This week we are studying the character trait of diligence.

The definition of diligence is:

 

devoted and painstaking effort to accomplish what is undertaken.

Diligence helps us achieve many things—job promotions, down payments, and education. In fact, it is through diligence that we achieve some of the most meaningful accomplishments in our lives. Diligence takes time and patience, and our young people may often feel short on both those resources. We can aid them in the pursuit and practice of diligence by remaining involved in their hopes, dreams, and goals.

If you would like to help reinforce our study of diligence this week, here are some suggestions for you and your teenager to work on together:

Discuss a success in your life that would not have occurred if you had not been diligent. Share your feelings about the patience required to have diligence.

Help your son or daughter map out a strategy to use diligence to realize a goal. Use poster board and markers to illustrate the strategy he or she chooses.

Review with your youth all of those accomplishments that he or she has achieved through the use of diligence. Use images representative of those events to create a collage to remind him or her of how diligence has paid off.

"Few things are impossible to diligence and skill . . . Great works are performed, not by strength, but by perseverance."
—Samual Johnson

Sincerely,

Madison Central Faculty
