So often, parents hear where their kids are lacking, what they need to work on, and what changes they need to make. Well, we think it’s high time that we get a chance to tell the world about how great our kids really are without feeling bad for trying to show up other parents.

So, we’re asking you to get out your brag books and tell us all about the wonderful, fantastic, and brilliant things your kids can do.

We’re collaborating with author Jenifer Fox to promote her new book Your Child’s Strengths, a book that will give parents the tools to help their children discover strengths in three main areas: Activity Strengths, the tasks that make you feel engaged and energized; Relationship Strengths, the things you do for and with others that make you feel valued and competent; and Learning Strengths, the unique ways we approach and understand new information.

Pairing inspiring and funny stories with practical workbook tools this much-needed book is a user-friendly guide for parents that will improve individual performance and an indispensable road map for young people and society to a future that plays to strengths.

To participate in today’s Blast, simply write a post on your blog by Midnight PST and tell us all about your own child(ren)’s strengths (how easy is that?!)

Make sure to link http://blog.parentbloggers.com as well as http://www.jeniferfox.com somewhere in your post (be creative!).

Send the link to your post to us at parentbloggers@gmail.com and we’ll link your post on our blog.
