3. Bravery

4. Look for: A named character strength plus one real, specific moment when the child showed it, at home, in a group or out and about.

D

1. Look for: Football skill is a talent or skill, not a character strength. A character strength is a way of behaving, such as perseverance, that shows in anything you do. your child may say a talent and a character strength are the same. Ask: is being fast at running a talent, or a way of behaving? Then explain that a character strength is how you act, in any activity.

E

1. Look for: A short story naming one character strength and a clear change from Year 5 to Year 6.

Words to use

Say“Which strength did you see in yourself this week? What was the moment?”

Instead of“You are so good at everything, you will be fine in Year 6.”
