Your Child’s Strengths
Discover Them, Develop Them, Use Them
By Jenifer Fox (Viking, $24.95, hardcover)
Rather than “fixing” kids’ weaknesses, says the author, we should be celebrating their strong suits.
1. “The need to develop children’s strengths is a story that cuts across economic lines and knows no racial, gender or cultural boundaries.”
2. Children passionately engage when they witness real-life applications of their school lessons.
3. Activity Strengths are those talents that we enjoy exhibiting. Learning Strengths are the ways each of us informs ourselves. Relationship Strengths are the ways we interact.
4. “When both children and adults begin to reflect regularly on the things they do that make them feel strong, they develop a new way of thinking.”
5. Parents begin to recognize their children’s strengths the moment the little ones begin communicating with them.
