Practical Strengths: Parenting: A CliftonStrengths(c) Guide to Everyday Ways - Paperback

by Rhonda Rosborough (Editor), Jo Self (Author)

PRACTICAL STRENGTHS is a series of books designed to bring the power of the CliftonStrengths(c) language into our daily lives, tackling such areas as parenting, relationships, careers, communication, hobbies, goal setting, health, and spirituality.PARENTING: As parents, we often think of our children as smaller versions of ourselves. Once we realize that we all possess talents that are unique to us, the bridge to understanding one another is strengthened. I believe once we learn to see ourselves more objectively, we are able to see others more objectively as well - especially our children. This perspective allows for more grace and compassion with one another over judgment and unrealistic expectations. Knowing who we are is key to understanding the world around us and our place in it. This self-awareness builds confidence and confidence leads to success.
