Help Your Child Identify Strengths

One effective way to help children become more confident learners is to shift their attention from their shortcomings to their strengths.

You can do that by asking your child a version of this question every day: "What is something you like about yourself?"

Here are some variations to help your child focus on different areas:

• "What is something you did that you felt good about today?"
• "What is something you enjoyed learning today?"
• "What is something you were proud of today?"

The identified strengths may not all be school-related. But you can encourage your child to apply them to school situations as they arise.
