Download The Strength Switch: How the New Science of Strength-Based Parenting Can Help Your Child and Your Teen to Flourish AudioBook Free
Unlock your children's potential by aiding them build their strengths. This game-changing booklet shows us the remarkable results of concentrating on our children's strengths rather than always attempting to improve their weaknesses. Most parents have a problem with this shift because they suffer from a negativity bias, because of evolutionary development, providing them with "strengths blindness". By demonstrating us how to throw the "strengths switch", Lea Waters demonstrates how not only can we help our children build resilience, optimism, and success but we can also help inoculate them against today's pandemic of melancholy and anxiety. To be a strengths-based scientist for more than twenty years, 10 of them spent concentrating on strengths-based parenting, Waters has seen how this approach improves self-esteem and energy in both children and teens. Yet more on the plus part: Parents think it is a particularly enjoyable and worthwhile way to raise children. With many ideas for specific ways to interact with your kids, Waters demonstrates how to discover strengths and talents inside our children, how to use positive emotions as a learning resource, how to build strong brains, and even how to approach problem habits and talk about difficult situations and emotions. As cutting edge yet simple as Mentality and Grit, The Durability Turn will show parents how a small shift can yield enormous results.
