Play to Their Strengths: A New Approach to Parenting Your Kids as God Made Them by Brandon Miller, Analyn Miller
4.0
Thanks to Harvest House for providing me with an advanced readers copy of this book.
The authors are parents to 7 children and their wealth of experience shows in every page. They are very strong in their Christian faith, and this is evident in the book, drawing from scripture to emphasize and explain many of the concepts. If you are familiar with strengths psychology or strengths-based management, or strengths-based parenting, this book will be a great addition to your repertoire. If this is a new concept for you, this book is a great introduction, and not a very long read at all. Focusing on parenting, Brandon and Analyn explain in easy to read detail what the concept of strengths-based parenting is and what it is not. They present ideas, concepts, examples, and action plans for each stage of a child's life. They are honest about their own missteps in their parenting journeys, and acknowledge that none of us get this parenting thing correct (or even close to it) all the time. A Playbook corresponding to each chapter is included at the end with practical activities to start implementing with your family. You will also receive access to strengths inventories for both you and your child. All in all, this book is a very well-rounded package that will be useful to families looking to move more closely to a strengths-based parenting model.
