The "why do some kids have more grit than others?" questions could just come down to mix of inheriting that trait and/or living in an environment that fosters the development and growth that trait.
There is an interesting book called "The Sports Gene" that has a section that talks about how someone bred sled dogs based on their "grit" characteristic and was able to be a successful dog sledder because of it.
Also that book is also a great read about how inherited traits and environment interact with each other. And thanks for the podcast suggestion.
