Your Child’s Strengths, Jenifer Fox

May 5th, 2008 • Carrie • 9 comments • Related • Filed Under

Listen NowJenifer Fox, author of Your Child’s Strengths, is not your everyday woman. She’s on a mission to change the world through changing our education system. Are you frustrated with the current focus on standardized testing and “fixing” kids’ weaknesses? Well, take a listen as Jenifer explains the Strengths Movement and details her critically acclaimed book, Your Child’s Strengths. Her passion is palpable ~ she is dedicated to finding better ways to engage, prepare, and equip today’s kids, so they can become tomorrow’s productive citizens ~ confident adults who know who they are, what their purpose is, and how they can make a difference in the world.

Your Child’s Strengths provides parents, teachers, and schools clear and practical direction for building upon children’s strengths.

JeniferFox2Jenifer Fox says:
“In a purely economic way, businesses are the end users of the products of the educational system. Unless the schools can train and develop multitudes of talents and strengths in children, business will not have a good stem-line of employees. Developing strengths is not a feel-good, false praise program. Instead it is challenging. The premise behind it is that if you see what your strengths are in your relationships, your activities and your own learning, then they become your responsibility to develop them. That is a big responsibility that takes work and dedication. So businesses have an economic interest in an educational system focused on strengths. It is my belief that because they hold this interest, they can become persuaded to use their influence to help change the current educational system. This can happen on many different levels and be taken up as part of any corporation’s social responsibility program. Many businesses today have thriving social responsibility programs. What better place to focus than on developing strengths? Ultimately, it will be a win-win for families, businesses and most importantly, the children.”

The Strengths Movement philosophy can be implemented not only in schools, but after-school programs, church youth programs, boys and girls clubs, camps, social services,even the juvenile justice system, and most importantly, at home.

Come join the conversation and maybe you, too, will then join the Strengths Movement ~ Then, again—maybe not. Let us hear your feedback on what you think about the book, the interview, the movement. Call 206–309–7318 with feedback, post a comment, or email Carrie@WordsToMouth.com.
