Strength Cards
Everyone has strengths: wherever we go, whatever we do, in times of struggle and in times of ease, our strengths can lead the way!
Identifying strengths can sometimes be challenging for some of the children that we work with as they are often quick to identify the problems, and the things they get wrong, but cannot see the great things they achieve. We believe it is so important that children can identify and build on their own strengths, therefore we often use strength cards within our sessions as this helps to develop the child’s self-esteem and is a starting point for a discussion about how to apply their strengths to their daily lives.
We love to be creative with how we use the cards, and we aim to make it a fun and powerful session. I once used them with one of my older children and at the end of the session, he realised he had many strengths that he had not recognised before. His response was so emotional, he realised what a wonderful and strong person he was. Of course, we took photos of his strengths so he could show them to his mum, dad, and teachers. Sometimes we need reminding how amazing we are.
Remember – EVERYONE HAS STRENGTHS!!
