Your Child's Strengths
Your Child's
Strengths, Discover Them, Develop Them, Use
Them, by Jenifer Fox, M-Ed. (Viking,
2008)
Every
action or behavior provides an opportunity to
discover a child's unique set of strengths. Yet
America's schools focus almost exclusively on
remediating weakness. In Your Child's
Strengths, Jenifer Fox shows you how to
identify your child's strength based on their
actions, how to encourage those strengths once
you have identified them, and how to help kids
implement the strengths they
reveal.
Passionately written and informed by Fox's twenty-five years of experience, Your Child's Strengths proposes a strengths-based philosophy that provides the tools to prepare kids for the future in a world that demands greater adaptability and creative thinking than ever before. Leading experts have praised the book and the curriculum.
Pairing inspiring first hand accounts of success with practical workbook tools and an outline of the award-winning Affinities Program, Fox has implemented at her school, this much-needed book is a user-friendly guide for parents, teachers and administrators that will improve individual performance and an indispensable road map for young people and society to a future that plays to strengths.
Also included in the book is a foreword by Marcus Buckingham, and The Affinities Program, the world's first four year strengths-based curriculum.
