"Don't eat so much junk!" "Study harder!" "Stop fighting with your sister!" We want the best for our kids. In the pursuit of their greatest well-being, we often take a path of rooting out "what's wrong" and fixing it. But what if living a good life goes beyond reducing the problems our children face? What if it is equally important to teach kids to seek out "what's right"? Turns out the research supports this notion. Helping our children identify, apply, and nurture their character strengths is a 21st century life skill which is associated with greater life satisfaction, engagement in school, academic success, and overall well-being. What we know is as important as it is to reduce the problems facing our children, it is equally as important to nurture what is right. In this, they have the tools to thrive and create positive connections to the larger world.

This fully-illustrated workbook teaches these lessons through fun and relatable stories and activities.… (more)
