Mini Lesson

Everyone is good at something β€” and that "something" is called a strength. Knowing your strengths helps you feel confident and know how you can help others!

What is a strength?

  • A strength is something you do well or a positive quality you have.
  • Example: being kind, listening carefully, staying calm, finishing tasks.
  • Strengths can be skills, habits, or parts of your personality.

What does "still growing" mean?

  • Some things are not yet easy β€” these are your growing areas.
  • Example: having patience, staying focused, speaking up.
  • Growing areas are NOT weaknesses β€” they are things you are working on!

Why does it matter?

  • Knowing your strengths helps you use them to help others.
  • Knowing your growing areas helps you make a plan to improve.
