Your Child’s Strengths: Discover Them, Develop Them, Use Them
Highlights: In Your Child’s Strengths: Discover Them, Develop Them, Use Them
, educator Jenifer Fox lays the groundwork for parents to identify and nurture their children’s innate strengths, and in turn show their children how to encourage these strengths. Fox explains how our current educational model of finding weaknesses in children and “fixing” them developed. She then outlines a new approach of appreciating each child for who they actually are, and describes how this understanding supports children for greater fulfillment and joy in their lives. A former teacher and school principal, Fox currently consults with public and independent schools about her strengths based curriculum.
Lowlights: None!
Why we like it: Fox’s insights help us see our kids’ strengths and appreciate them in another way. The book opens our perspective so we also think differently about ourselves and what we have to contribute in the world. Really magical.
Child’s age: All ages.
