Strengths Based Parenting: Developing Your Children's Innate Talents [Hardcover]

Strengths Based Parentingdoesn’t prescribe one “right” way to parent. Instead, author Mary Reckmeyer empowers parents to embrace their individual parenting style by discovering and developing their own — and their children’s — talents and strengths. With real-life stories, practical advice backed by Gallup data, and access to the Clifton StrengthsFinder and Clifton Youth StrengthsExplorer assessments,Strengths Based Parentingbuilds the foundation for positive parenting.

But unlike many parenting books,Strengths Based Parentingfocuses on identifying and understanding what your children are naturally good at and where they thrive — not on their weaknesses.
