Following popular demand and positive feedback we are inviting parents to join us in our second session of the book club discussing The Strength Switch: How The New Science of Strength-Based Parenting Can Help Your Child and Your Teen to Flourish by Lea Waters. The ideas in this book apply to parenting children of all ages, Elementary, Middle and High School, so this is open to all parents.
Here is a brief description from Dr Waters' website: This game-changing book shows us the extraordinary results of focusing on our children’s strengths rather than always trying to correct their weaknesses. By showing us how to flick the “strengths switch,” Lea Waters demonstrates how 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.
Dr Waters' book is available in English on amazon.in and has been translated into 8 additional languages (Korean, Japanese, French, and others)! Check here to purchase a book in your home language. All English language levels are welcome and encouraged to attend. We look forward to seeing you on Mondays on the following dates and times:
March 30th at 2:00 (Chapters 1 and 2) in the BBT
April 6th at 1:00 (Chapters 3 and 4) in the HOL (before the PCA meeting)
April 13th at 2:00 (Chapters, 5, 6,7) in the HOL
April 20th at 2:00 (Chapters 8, 9, 10) in the BBT
We have a limited number of spaces open for this book club as we want to ensure that we are able to make it a truly useful learning experience. Please sign up on this website if you are interested in attending.
