What is
STRENGTH-BASED PARENTING?
It is a parenting style that parents focus on building up their children’s strengths instead of weaknesses. By shifting their focus from fixing what’s wrong to cultivating what’s right, parents are able to help their children to maximize and make the most of their talents and character.

A world in which technology permeates their senses with explosions of sound and colour.
I try to slow down this process and give them a chance to breathe in the wonder and the beauty. To take the time to think and react, with a traditional, tactile expression of themselves. I strive to give them an anchor, a point from which they can identify who they are and then move courageously through the world. I aim for a balance of the inner and outer worlds.”
