STRESSING STRENGTHS

Not long ago, we judged children by their differences. We would find something “wrong,” label them “at risk” and focus on “fixing” the “problem.” Now, we have learned that concentrating on “wrongs” rarely makes things “right.” Building on attributes works better. To further that practice, we fund programs that build on people’s strengths.
