The Strengths Lens
Helping children learn and think positively
about their personality is one of a parents
biggest jobs. Typical assessments provide kids
with personality types but not necessarily
actions or activities to build on childrens'
deepening understanding of themselves. The
workbook and the Affinities Program do both.
That said, here is a glimpse at what you might
discover.
