Children develop strengths through practice and praise. Try these tips:  

1. Notice good behavior ("You shared – that was kind!")  
2. Teach feeling words ("This is disappointment")  
3. Model patience (take deep breaths together)  
4. Use pretend play to practice social skills  
5. Celebrate small wins (like using polite words)  

Strengths grow best when children feel safe and loved. Even "difficult" kids have hidden strengths waiting to shine. Read more about, Building Emotional & Behavioral Strengths.
