A strengths-based approach to learning is exactly what our asynchronous kids need.  We may be tempted to focus on remediation in areas where they are “behind,” but remember there is no behind; our kids learn every day.    It is so important to teach our children to use their strengths to help them overcome their weaknesses instead of allowing them to feel behind, always trying to catch up. In today’s episode, Colleen talks specifically about why we should implement a strengths-based approach with our kids, and let go of the traditional, deficit-based model.   Our sponsor for today’s episode is CTC Math  Links and Resources from Today’s Show Raising Lifelong Learners Membership Community - The Learners Lab Masterclass | Raising Resilient Families Bundle | Smart Boy Characters Movie Studies - Raising Lifelong Learners Bundle | Smart Girl Characters Movie Studies - Raising Lifelong Learners Raising Resilient Sons by Colleen Kessler, M.Ed.
