The Gift of Teaching Character Strengths: 8 steps to grow character strengths in children

The gift of teaching character strengths: 8 ways to grow character strengths in children, was written to support families and educators to nurture young minds, hearts and bodies.

With depression, youth suicide, anxiety and general overwhelm on the rise, there is a need to return to a more positive and calm place in our hearts and minds. To honour the inherent character strengths, and reflect on the gifts we each carry within.

Focusing on the character strengths of children has been proven to have positive effects on their wellbeing and life outcomes.

When you notice, name, explore and celebrate character strengths – these traits and behaviours grow and blossom.

Character strengths can also be used in challenging situations with empowering and positive results. By calling for a character strength (such as patience, flexibility, trust, purposefulness, gentleness etc) that is required in a particular situation, you are asking for what is needed in a respectful and wise way.

Over time, children (and adults) grow up knowing their true capacity for bringing their character strengths to life in every day ways to create greater confidence, peacefulness and resilience.

We wish you wonders ahead as you delight in the character gifts of your self and of those around you.
