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.
