What a great read for parents and teachers. It takes the opposite approach of the current system of finding children's fault's and then trying to fix them, and instead focuses on finding their strengths and developing them. It was a good reminder that children do not have to excel at every subject. Their strengths are things that interest, energize, and enliven them (and not simply, I am good at soccer, but I enjoy working with a team or figuring out strategies). The process of discovery is one that parent and child should go on together and builds over time. Children need to know what their strengths and learning styles are, so that they can be their own advocate in the classroom and in life. This goes beyond just finding confidence and fulfillment in school, but in college, the work place, and adult life. The first half of the book explains her philosophy (which I have well-marked) and the second half is a workbook for helping you through the process of discovery. I really hope to use it with all my children and Fox has done a great job of providing the tools to do so.
