Summary:
"Examines the idea of "focusing on our children's strengths rather than always trying to correct their weaknesses. Most parents struggle with this shift because they suffer from a negativity bias, thanks to evolutionary development, giving them 'strengths-blindness.' By showing us how to throw the strengths switch, Lea Waters [posits that] we can not only help our children build resilience, optimism, and achievement but we can also help inoculate them against today's pandemic of depression and anxiety."--Amazon.com.
