This episode was about Utilizing your children's strengths. I learned that there are many ways to work on weaknesses with our children and it is important to recognize and nurture their strengths. We should focus on what our children are good at and use it to overcome their weaknesses. We should also look for ways to encourage them to use their strengths, such as utilizing interests to help them in tasks or using empathy to help in social settings. By doing this, we can help our children gain confidence, show them they have value, and create a positive experience for them."If our skills, which maybe when we're young aren't squashed out of us, if maybe they're cultivated a little bit, we can use those as a strength."In this episode, you will learn the following:1. How can you use your child's interests to help them overcome weaknesses?2. How can you use a strength to turn a negative into a positive?3. How can you use a binder to present a positive view of your child in meetings?
