We Can Do Hard Things Song
A song that reminds us that we can keep trying to do hard things
Enjoy a song that reminds us of the power of persistence! Together with children, watch the video once through. Then, talk about some of the hard things you’ve been able to do, and invite children in your care to do the same. There are big ideas in the song, so it’s helpful for children to watch it a few times and move and groove along.
After listening a second or third time, try to personalize the lyrics with children’s names, and talk about how they can do hard things when they remember all they’ve accomplished before!
We can do hard things, yes we can!
We can keep on trying, that’s the plan.
And the reason we’re so sure
is ’cause we’ve done hard things before!
We can do hard things!
