NURTURE WHAT COMES NATURALLY IN CHILDREN
WITH STRENGTHS-FOCUSED PARENTING
3 Strengths-Focused Parenting Tips just in time for Mother’s Day
As a strength’s enthusiast my parenting approach is to ‘nurture what comes naturally’. Here is how …
1. Firstly, what are your own strengths? Reflect on where you excel, both personally and professionally. Now direct these talents towards parenting. Are you a good communicator? You may haveCommunication as a dominant talent. If so, ensure you listen actively with your kids to encourage healthy conversation. Are you high in Empathy? Then trust your intuition when it comes to knowing your kid’s needs. Do you love learning? Learner may be high up as a strength so use it to deeply explore what makes your child tick.
2. The next step is to explore your children’s strengths. What activities energise them? When do they get so engrossed that they lose track of time? What do they do naturally well? These are strong indicators of natural talents and kids should be using them every day.
3. Don't ignore weaknesses. Determine if weaknesses are having a negative impact - if they are, then managing them is essential. A personal example on mine is my daughter tendency to constantly lose things. Focus is definitely not a dominant talent for her. She is however an excellent relationship builder and has many great friends. She now partners with her more focused friends to remind her about her belongings and her siblings have also been recruited to support her with this challenge.
As Mothers we can be very hard on ourselves. Let’s take some time this weekend to reflect on what each of us, as parents, does really well. This way we can do more of it!
Happy Mother’s Day!!!
