Practical, fun cards for building strength in children
The most powerful way to solve a problem is to start with our strengths. With children, building strengths can help them learn and grow.
Strength Cards for Kids is a playful resource tailor-made for talking with children about building and identifying their strengths.
These 40 cards feature delightfully colourful animals showing a strength, accompanied by a phrase or ‘strength statement’ naming the strength or skill depicted in the illustration.
Strength Cards for Kids are practical, positive and affirming. The fun-loving cartoon illustrations make them accessible for young children and families. They support building self-esteem and optimism in children and allow role models to reflect on the strengths they want to show in themselves.
Strength Cards for Kids has been an essential resource for teachers, family therapists, counsellors, social workers, parents and carers worldwide for over 25 years.
This resource is a must-have for anyone wanting to build resilience, optimism and strengths in children and families.
