I don’t have kids, but if I had some, I would want to implement the “Hard Thing Rule” given by Angela Duckworth in her book “Grit”.
It boils down to 3 rules:
Everyone in the family must do one hard thing, one thing that requires deliberate practice everyday. This can be yoga, programming, ballet, a lot of things really.
You can quit your hard thing, but only at “natural” stopping points (the end of the season, the end of the school year,...)
You choose your hard thing.
I really like this idea, because it teaches working ethics, grit and consistency in a way that respects individual differences.
