•
Every strength has a corresponding challenge and every challenge has a corresponding strength.
🌱The inattentive child may be a deep thinker.
🌱The uncooperative child may be a good leader.
🌱The emotionally-charged child may be gifted with exceptional empathy.
🌱The rule-defying child may be an out-of-the-box innovator.
When faced with challenging behaviors, look for the corresponding strength, and focus on nurturing that gift while providing gentle guidance and coping techniques for the challenging areas.
That is the essence of working with, instead of against, our children.
-L.R.Knost
