Practical Strengths: Parenting
As parents, we often think of our children as smaller versions of ourselves. Once we realize that we all possess talents that are unique to us, the bridge to understanding one another is strengthened. I believe once we learn to see ourselves more objectively, we are able to see others more objectively as well – especially our children. This perspective allows for more grace and compassion with one another over judgment and unrealistic expectations. Knowing who we are is key to understanding the world around us and our place in it. This self-awareness builds confidence and confidence leads to success.

Your Child's Strengths
Hands down my favorite book for helping parents navigate their child's strengths. Great activities for ALL ages - in fact, I suggest doing them with your child and comparing notes.
For parents who are keen to start spotting their child's strengths, StrengthsExplorer (SE) is a 78 question assessment designed for children 10-14. Honestly, I do think you can start as young as 8, but parents know their children best.
You can buy the book OR you can just visit https://www.strengths-explorer.com/ and purchase the assessment directly there.
PRO TIP: I highly recommend taking SE as an adult as well. It helps us understand how our own talents might show up in these 10 broader domains of SE.
