Persistence: This is the length of time a child continues in activities in the face
of obstacles. Does the child continue to work on a puzzle when he has difficulty
with it or does he just move on to another activity? Is the child able to wait
to have his needs met? Does the child react strongly when interrupted in an
activity? When a child persists in an activity he is asked to stop, he is
labeled as stubborn. When a child stays with a tough puzzle he is seen a being
patient. The highly persistent child is more likely to succeed in reaching
goals. A child with low persistence may develop strong social skills because he
realizes other people can help.
You need to be there to encourage when your infant/toddler gets frustrated this will teach her that it is ok to keep tying until you succeed . When she gets it you should celebrate. Your infant/toddler is new to the world and you are her mirror to the world there for you have to guide her. These skills are need for life and must be taught during the infant/toddler years. You are also teaching her problem solving skills.
